Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Für eine vegane Variante ersetze griechischen Joghurt und Proteinpulver durch pflanzliche Alternativen. Wer es glutenfrei mag, sollte darauf achten, zertifizierte glutenfreie Haferflocken zu verwenden. Ein Schuss Kollagenpeptide bringt zusätzliches Protein – perfekt nach dem Workout!

Varianten und Anpassungen

Variiere das Nussmus, indem du Mandel- oder Cashewbutter anstelle von Erdnussbutter verwendest. Die Schokoladenchips kannst du je nach Geschmack weglassen oder durch weiße Schokolade ersetzen. Auch gehackte getrocknete Früchte geben eine leckere Note.

Serviervorschläge

Serviere die Overnight Oats direkt im Glas oder in einer Schüssel. Garniere sie mit weiteren Schokostückchen, einem Spritzer Nussbutter oder etwas frischem Obst für den Extra-Kick am Morgen.
