Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or unsweetened plant-based)
  • 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder (about 25 g)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • Toppings: fresh berries, 1 tbsp nut butter, or sliced banana

Method
 

  1. Add oats, milk, salt, and sweetener to a small saucepan over medium heat and stir to combine.
  2. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oatmeal is thick and creamy.
  3. Remove from heat and let cool for 1 minute. Stir in the protein powder until completely smooth, adding a splash of milk if it gets too thick.
  4. Spoon into a bowl, add your toppings, and serve warm.

Notes

If your protein powder is already sweetened, you can leave out the maple syrup entirely. For meal prep, store cooked oatmeal with a little extra milk; it will absorb liquid as it sits and need a splash more before reheating.
