Instructions
Oats:
- Combine the oats, protein powder, and cocoa powder in a bowl or jar.
- To the same bowl/ jar, add the milk, yogurt, water, and honey. Stir until everything is incorporated well. Set aside.
Yogurt Topping:

- While you can prepare the oats up to 4 days in advance, the top chocolate layer can undergo some changes if left on top of the oats for a few days. To ensure the best results, add it over the yogurt layer the night before serving.
