Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1.5 cups milk (or non-dairy milk)
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 banana
- 0.5 cup fresh berries
- 0.25 cup nuts or seeds (optional)
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to mix.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 3
Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and continue cooking for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until the oats are creamy and the liquid is mostly absorbed.
Step 4
Stir in the protein powder and chia seeds, mixing thoroughly to ensure an even distribution. Cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until slightly thickened.
Step 5
Remove from heat and stir in the Greek yogurt for added creaminess. Sweeten with honey or maple syrup to taste, adjusting the sweetness as needed.
Step 6
Spoon the oats into bowls and top with sliced banana, fresh berries, and a sprinkle of nuts or seeds if using.
Step 7
Serve immediately and enjoy a nourishing, high-protein breakfast that will keep you fueled and satisfied throughout your morning.
