Overnight Chocolate Protein Rice Flakes

This recipe is like eating chocolate pudding for breakfast!

Rice flakes are a great gluten free alternative to rolled oats, I don’t even notice the different anymore! They are so much easier on my stomach to digest, especially when left to soak overnight like in this recipe.

This is a great ‘make ahead’ recipe if your short on time in the mornings. It only takes a matter of minutes to prepare the mixture for setting in the fridge overnight. I like to make a few at a time during my Sunday Meal Prep and store them in the fridge for the week for easy grab and go breakfasts when I’m running late before work on weekday mornings.
