Ingredients
  

Oatmeal Base
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup water or milk dairy or non-dairy
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 pinch salt
Toppings (Optional)
  • 1/4 cup berries fresh or frozen
  • 1 tablespoon nut butter almond, peanut, or cashew
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon chopped nuts walnuts, pecans, or almonds

Method
 

  1. Combine rolled oats, water/milk, cinnamon, and salt in a microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan. Cook according to package directions (typically 1-2 minutes in microwave or 3-5 minutes on stovetop), until liquid is absorbed and oats are creamy.
  2. Remove from heat. Let cool for 1-2 minutes, then stir in the protein powder until fully combined and no lumps remain. If it's too thick, add a splash more milk or water.
  3. Top with your desired ingredients such as berries, nut butter, chia seeds, and chopped nuts.
  4. Serve immediately and enjoy your high-protein breakfast!

Notes

To avoid clumpy protein powder, make sure your oatmeal isn't boiling hot when you mix it in. For meal prep, cook the oats ahead of time and store in the fridge, then reheat and stir in protein powder and toppings just before serving. Feel free to experiment with different protein powder flavors and topping combinations to keep it exciting!
