Description

A hearty and nutritious breakfast option, this High-Protein Oatmeal is packed with protein and fiber to keep you full and energized throughout the morning.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter
  • 1/2 banana, sliced
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional toppings: berries, nuts, seeds, or Greek yogurt

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine the oats, almond milk, chia seeds, cinnamon, salt, and banana.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, for 5–7 minutes until the oats are soft and the mixture thickens.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in the protein powder, vanilla extract, and peanut butter.
  4. Mix well until smooth and creamy. If too thick, add a splash of milk to reach desired consistency.
  5. Transfer to a bowl and top with your favorite toppings like berries or nuts.
  6. Serve warm and enjoy!
