Ingredients

  • 1/3 C quick oats*
  • 1 Tbsp chia seeds
  • 1/4 C liquid egg whites**
  • 3/4 C unsweetened almond milk
  • 33g protein powder (about 1/3 C)

Instructions

  1. Stir the oats, chia seeds, egg whites, and almond milk together in a deep cereal bowl (or large bowl) until well combined.
  2. Microwave for two minutes, stir, then microwave another 60 seconds. If you have a high powered microwave, be sure to watch the oats during the last 60 seconds to keep them from spilling over.
  3. Stir your protein powder of choice until completely dissolved.
  4. If you're adding mix-ins, stir those in now! (See blog post for fun flavor combinations.)
  5. Leave a star rating and review so other readers know how you liked the recipe!

Notes

*This recipe was developed specifically with quick oats. If all you have is rolled oats, you might need to adjust the liquid. Steel cut oats will not work.

**To make this recipe vegan, swap the egg whites for more almond milk.
