serving bowl

Ingredients

1/2 cup old fashioned oats
1 cup milk or water
1 pinch salt
1 scoop protein powder
2 tbsp Greek yogurt
1 tbsp peanut butter
1 banana, sliced
1 tsp chia seeds (optional)

Instructions

Add old fashioned oats, milk or water, and a pinch of salt into a saucepan over medium heat.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for about 5 minutes while stirring occasionally.
Remove the saucepan from the heat before adding the protein ingredients.
Stir in the protein powder, Greek yogurt, and peanut butter until smooth and creamy.
Add extra milk if needed to loosen the oatmeal and improve texture.
Serve warm with banana slices, chia seeds, berries, walnuts, or additional peanut butter if desired.

Notes

For the creamiest texture, stir protein powder into the oatmeal after cooking instead of boiling it with the oats. Add extra milk if the oatmeal becomes too thick. Customize with bananas, berries, peanut butter, chia seeds, walnuts, or overnight oats variations for different breakfast styles.
