Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 medium, mashed banana
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal
- 0.5 cup blueberries
- 2 tablespoons chopped almonds
- 1 teaspoon honey
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rolled oats and unsweetened almond milk.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent the oats from sticking to the bottom.
Once the oats start to simmer, add the mashed banana, chia seeds, and vanilla protein powder. Stir well to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
Add the ground cinnamon and flaxseed meal, continuing to stir the mixture while it cooks for an additional 5 minutes or until the oats have absorbed most of the liquid and reach your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the oats sit for 1-2 minutes to thicken slightly.
Divide the protein oats into two serving bowls.
Top each bowl with an equal amount of blueberries and chopped almonds.
Drizzle with honey for natural sweetness.
Serve warm and enjoy your heart-healthy creamy protein oats for a nutritious breakfast.
