High Protein Oatmeal Bowl
This high protein oatmeal bowl combines oats, chocolate protein powder, and Greek yogurt into a creamy, filling breakfast. It’s easy to customize with fruit and nut butter and works well for post-workout mornings or busy weekdays.
Equipment
- Small saucepan
- Spoon or spatula
- Measuring cups
- Serving bowl
Ingredients
- ½ cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk or unsweetened almond milk
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder (about 30 g)
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- ½ cup blueberries or 1 small banana, sliced
- 1 tbsp almond butter or peanut butter
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Add the rolled oats, milk, cinnamon, and salt to a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the oats absorb most of the liquid and turn creamy.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the oats rest for about one minute so they cool slightly.
- Stir in the chocolate protein powder gradually until fully dissolved and smooth.
- Gently fold in the Greek yogurt until the oatmeal becomes thick and creamy.
- Transfer the oatmeal to a bowl and add fruit, chia seeds, and nut butter on top.
- If needed, add a small splash of milk to adjust the texture and serve warm.
Notes
- For a lighter version, reduce the nut butter or use half a scoop of protein powder.
- For higher calories, increase oats or add extra toppings.
- Use certified gluten-free oats if needed.
