Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 5 large fresh strawberries
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 tablespoon slivered almonds (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, water, almond milk, and a pinch of salt. Stir to mix and bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer the oats for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oatmeal thickens to the desired consistency.
Meanwhile, wash and hull the strawberries. Dice 3 of the strawberries and set aside. Mash the remaining 2 strawberries in a small bowl to create a chunky strawberry sauce.
When the oatmeal is almost done, stir in the scoop of vanilla protein powder, chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix well to ensure the protein powder is fully incorporated and no lumps remain.
Remove the oatmeal from the heat. Gently fold in the diced strawberries to infuse the oatmeal with their fresh flavor.
Portion the oatmeal into two bowls. Drizzle the mashed strawberry sauce over the top of each bowl.
For added texture and nutrients, sprinkle slivered almonds or your favorite topping over the oatmeal, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your High Protein Strawberry Delight Oatmeal!
