Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 cup water
- 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 whole banana (sliced)
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter (or any nut butter)

- 0.5 cup fresh berries (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, and water. Stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes, until the oats are tender and the porridge reaches your desired consistency.
Stir in the protein powder, chia seeds, and ground cinnamon. Mix thoroughly to avoid clumps.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the porridge cool for 1-2 minutes.
Transfer the porridge to a serving bowl. Top it with sliced banana, a dollop of peanut butter, and a drizzle of honey if desired.
Add fresh berries or any other toppings you like for extra flavor and nutrition.
Serve warm and enjoy your protein-packed porridge!
