Instructions

• 1

  Boil one cup of water in a saucepan and whisk in one to two tablespoons of protein powder. Make sure that the powder is thoroughly dissolved into the water to prevent dry, powdery clumps in your oatmeal.

• 2

  Stir in ½ cup of rolled or instant oats and allow the water to return to a boil. Simmer for about one minute, stir, turn off the heat and cover.

• 3

  Let the oats sit and steep for approximately five minutes if you are using rolled oats, and about one minute if using instant oats. Do not over-stir the oatmeal, which will give it a sticky consistency.

• 4

  Add fruit, brown sugar, maple syrup or other flavorings prior to eating.
