Quick Answer:
Combine oats, coconut milk, and protein powder, refrigerate overnight, then top with fruit for a no-cook tropical breakfast. Learn more about how protein supports recovery and satiety in our guide: Unleashing the Potential of High-Protein Diets.
Combine oats, coconut milk, protein powder, shredded coconut, coconut extract (or lime zest), and sweetener in a jar or an airtight container.
Stir well until all ingredients are fully mixed.
Cover and refrigerate overnight (or at least 4-6 hours) to let the oats absorb the liquid.
In the morning, stir and adjust the consistency by adding more coconut milk if needed.
Top with diced pineapple or mango, plus extra shredded coconut if desired.
Enjoy cold or warm it up for a cozy tropical treat!
Try adding chopped macadamia nuts, toasted coconut flakes, or a dollop of Greek yogurt to elevate texture and protein.
