Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1.5 cups milk (or non-dairy milk)
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 banana
- 0.5 cup fresh berries
- 0.25 cup nuts or seeds (optional)
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to mix.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and continue cooking for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until the oats are creamy and the liquid is mostly absorbed.
Stir in the protein powder and chia seeds, mixing thoroughly to ensure an even distribution. Cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until slightly thickened.
Remove from heat and stir in the Greek yogurt for added creaminess. Sweeten with honey or maple syrup to taste, adjusting the sweetness as needed.
Spoon the oats into bowls and top with sliced banana, fresh berries, and a sprinkle of nuts or seeds if using.
Serve immediately and enjoy a nourishing, high-protein breakfast that will keep you fueled and satisfied throughout your morning.
