Ingredients
  

For the oatmeal base
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 cups water or milk (dairy or non-dairy) Use dairy for creaminess or non-dairy for vegan options

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water or milk to a gentle boil.
  2. Add 1 cup of rolled oats to the boiling liquid, stirring occasionally. Reduce to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes or until the oats are soft.
  3. Once cooked, stir in the scoop of protein powder and optional honey or maple syrup until well combined.
  4. Remove oatmeal from heat and let cool for a minute before serving.
  5. Spoon into bowls and add your favorite toppings.

Notes

For the best texture, stir protein powder gradually to avoid clumping. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
