A creamy, satisfying oatmeal boosted with protein powder and milk for a balanced breakfast that keeps you full longer.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
• 1 scoop (about 30g) vanilla or unflavored protein powder
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
• Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. In a small saucepan, combine oats, milk, and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
2. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 minutes until oats are tender and mixture thickens.
3. Remove from heat. Stir in protein powder until fully dissolved. If using, add chia seeds and sweetener.
4. Let stand for 1 minute to thicken further. Serve warm with desired toppings.

Tips

• For extra creaminess, use whole milk or add a splash of heavy cream.
• Top with fresh fruit, nuts, or a drizzle of nut butter.
• Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days; reheat with a splash of milk.
