Description

Upgrade your breakfast game with this protein-packed oatmeal recipe. Creamy oats infused with protein powder, topped with your favorite fruits and nuts, make for a delicious and satisfying start to your day.


Ingredients

Scale

Oatmeal:

  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup water or milk of choice
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Additional Ingredients:

  • 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla, chocolate, or unflavored)
  • 1/2 banana (mashed, optional for sweetness)
  • 1 tablespoon nut butter or chopped nuts (optional)
  • Fresh fruit or berries for topping


Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine oats, water or milk, cinnamon, salt, and mashed banana if using.
  2. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to low and simmer for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the oats are soft and the mixture thickens.
  3. Remove from heat and let cool for 1 minute.
  4. Stir in the protein powder until fully incorporated and smooth.
  5. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of milk.
  6. Spoon into a bowl and top with nut butter, fruit, or any additional toppings you like.
  7. Serve warm.

Notes

  • To avoid clumping, mix the protein powder with a few tablespoons of milk before stirring into the oatmeal.
  • For a quicker version, cook in the microwave for 2–3 minutes.
  • Choose a plant-based protein powder for a vegan option.
