Vegan Vanilla Protein Powder
- Many of us require a little bit of a protein boost into our days.
- I use Genuine Health Organic Fermented Vanilla Protein Powder. or Form Performance Blend Vanilla Flavour. They are both delicious, vegan, soy free, and with no unpronounceable additives.
- A lot of protein powders unfortunately have many additives. Be sure to buy high quality if you are going to use one.
- Another alternative I like to use is pure Pumpkin Seed Powder. It comes unflavoured and is honestly pretty tasteless, so you don’t even notice it’s there lol.
Overnight Oats Notes
- Don’t omit the ground flaxseed as it helps to absorb the liquid and thicken your oats.
- You may add a little more or less liquid to go with your preference of desired consistency. I sometimes like to add a little coconut kefir just before eating to add a bit of a creamy texture.
- Different protein powders WILL change the taste. The Vanilla Genuine Health one is the absolute best tasting I have found, EVER. And by a lot. You can also omit the protein powder entirely and add in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract instead.
- Overnight oats are super versatile! You can switch up the milks, flavour options and toppings easily, so experiment and have fun.
- Many people say to consume your oats within a day of making them but I prepare mine in advance for 3 -4 days at a time and on the third and fourth day they are still delicious.
- Overnight oats can be eaten cold or warmed up. They choice is yours! I generally eat mine straight out of the fridge. It really doesn’t get any easier to grab a quick breakfast.
Morning Magic
Food is always magic. And weaving that magic into our normal activities, such as meal times, is a powerful way to connect with our craft on an every day basis.
Kitchen witchery is a practical and beautiful form of everyday magic that often gets overlooked even by witches who practice regularly. And Spring is a wonderful time to embrace this form of magic! I encourage you to dive in and give it a try if it’s something that is new to you.
These overnight oats are an easy and effective way to practice a bit of kitchen witchery and set intentions for you to persevere and get past any obstacle that might be put in your path. Make these when you know you have a busy or challenging day ahead.

While preparing your oats, focus on the intention overcoming obstacles and pushing past barriers. You can do anything. Believe that and feel it in your soul. What would this look like for you?
