- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
- 0.5 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)

Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, water, and almond milk. Stir well.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Lower the heat to a simmer and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats reach your desired consistency.
Once the oats are cooked, remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool slightly for 1-2 minutes.
Stir in the protein powder and ground cinnamon, making sure everything is well combined. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more almond milk or water to reach your preferred consistency.
Transfer the oatmeal to a bowl and top with blueberries, chia seeds, and any optional toppings such as honey, maple syrup, chopped nuts, or nut butter.
