- 2 cups water
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 ½ cups milk of choice
- 3 servings flavored protein powder I use vanilla whey protein
- 3 tbsp ground flax seed
- Fresh fruit, nut butter or nuts and seeds for topping
Instructions
- 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 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.
- 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
Notes
- You can use any flavor of protein powder you would like for your protein oats.
- If you don't like flax seeds, you can omit them or use chia seeds.
- Allow your oatmeal to cool, then store leftovers in an airtight container.
- Leftovers are delicious cold as overnight oats, or you can reheat them on the stove or in the microwave.
