Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1.5 cups milk (or a non-dairy alternative like almond or oat milk)
- 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter (or almond butter)
- 1 teaspoon honey (or maple syrup, optional)
- 1 banana, sliced
- 0.5 cup berries (e.g., blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries)
- 0.25 teaspoon cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats and milk. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture begins to simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the oats have absorbed most of the liquid and reached your desired texture.
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the protein powder and chia seeds, ensuring everything is well combined.
Divide the oatmeal into two bowls. Top each serving with 0.5 tablespoon of peanut butter, a drizzle of honey (if desired), and your sliced banana and berries.
Sprinkle with a dash of cinnamon for garnish if you like.
Serve warm and enjoy your hearty, protein-packed breakfast!
