Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups milk or plant-based milk
- 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla flavor)
- 1 large banana
- 1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons almonds, sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rolled oats and milk over medium heat.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
Cook the oats for about 5 minutes or until they begin to soften.
Add the scoop of vanilla protein powder to the oatmeal, stirring well to incorporate and ensure there are no lumps.
Mash half of the banana in a bowl and slice the other half for topping.
Stir the mashed banana, mixed berries, chia seeds, honey, cinnamon, and vanilla extract into the oatmeal. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until the mixture thickens and the fruit is warmed through.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the oatmeal cool slightly for a few minutes.
Divide the oatmeal into two bowls. Top each serving with sliced banana, sliced almonds, and additional berries if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your High Protein Fruity Oatmeal Delight!
