Ingredients
Scale
For the oatmeal version:
- 1 1/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 1/2 cup rolled oats*
- 2 – 3 tsp. sweetener of choice**
- ½ tsp. vanilla extract
- pinch of salt (optional, but recommended)
For the grain-free, higher protein version:
- 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 1 scoop (25g) vanilla protein powder***
- 3 Tbsp. coconut flour
Instructions
For the oatmeal version:
- Add all ingredients to the bowl of your blender and give it a stir to ensure that everything is well combined. Cover and place in fridge for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight. This step isn’t absolutely necessary, but allowing the oats to soak for a few hours will make them easier to blend and give you a smoother, creamier pudding.
- When ready to eat, blend on high until oats are fully broken down and a smooth and creamy consistency is reached.
- Transfer the smoothie to a small saucepan set over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring to prevent burning. If the consistency is too thick, add an extra splash of almond milk until desired consistency is reached.
- When your pudding reaches your preferred temperature and consistency, transfer it to a bowl, garnish with toppings of choice, and enjoy!

Notes
* make sure to use certified gluten free oats if you need this to be gluten free. You can also replace 1/4 cup of the oats with 1/4 cup of vanilla protein powder if you want a higher protein option. ** I like using coconut palm sugar because I’ve found it comes out tasting like a sugar cookie, but you could also use brown sugar, maple syrup, brown rice syrup, etc.
