Ingredients
-
2 cups rolled oats (old-fashioned)
-
2½ cups milk of choice (almond, dairy, oat, soy)
-
4 scoops vanilla protein powder
-
1 tablespoon chia seeds
-
1 teaspoon cinnamon
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
-
Optional toppings: chopped nuts, shredded coconut, nut butter
Instructions
-
In a medium saucepan, combine oats, milk, chia seeds, cinnamon, and vanilla.
-
Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
-
Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring often, until thick and creamy.
-
Remove from heat and stir in protein powder until smooth.
-
Divide into 4 containers. Let cool slightly.
-
Top with berries and optional toppings.
-
Refrigerate up to 4 days.
Notes
-
Always add protein powder off heat to avoid clumps.
-
If oats are too thick, stir in extra milk 1 tablespoon at a time.
-
Use rolled oats only—quick oats get mushy, steel-cut take too long.
-
For meal prep, add crunchy toppings just before eating.
