Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup Oats
  • 1 tbsp Chia Seeds
  • 2 tbsp Coconut flakes unsweetened
  • ½ tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp Salt
  • ¾ cup Cow's Milk whole milk or milk of choice
  • ¼ cup Protein Powder vanilla or other flavor
  • 1 Tbsp Peanut Butter all natural

Method
 

  1. Add the oats, chia seeds, coconut flakes, cinnamon, salt and milk into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 1-4 minutes, depending on if using quick oats or rolled oats.
  2. Remove from microwave and mix in the protein powder and peanut butter.
Tips & Tricks
  1. Other Milks: Use an alternative milk of your choice. Canned coconut milk makes for a creamier dish & adds healthy fat & additional calories if you are looking for more calories at this meal.
  2. Sweetness: A flavored protein powder will have sweeteners added already (choose ones with less sugar added, OR that sweeten with stevia or monk fruit). Alternatively, you can use a plain, unflavored powder like plain collagen or whey & either add some sweet toppings like blueberries or keep it more savory. I used the Levels brand grass-fed whey vanilla in this recipe.
  3. Carbs & Oats: This recipe reduces the usual 1/2 cup serving of oats to 1/4 cup and swaps in other ingredients to make it lower carb and higher in protein and healthy fat.
  4. Leftovers: Refrigerate in an airtight container for 3 to 5 days
