How to make
Step 1: Cook the Oats
Pour water into a small pot with salt and bring to a boil. Pour oats into the pot, stir, reduce to a simmer and simmer for 7 minutes.
Whisk together milk and protein powder. After the oats have been simmering for 7 minutes pour milk and protein mixture into the pot along with the ground flax seeds
To prevent the mixture from splitting, simmer on low stirring constantly for another 5 minutes.
Step 2: Serve with Toppings
Remove from heat, separate into bowls and serve with your favorite toppings.
Allow leftovers to cool completely, transfer to an airtight container and place in the fridge. Serve chilled like overnight oats or reheat gently on the stovetop.
Storage
Once the protein oatmeal is cooled, place it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. You can enjoy leftovers cold or reheat gently on the stovetop.
