These basic protein oats (proats) are my go-to meal prep breakfast. It’s super quick and easy to whip up, is super filling, can be easily changed up to prevent flavour boredom, and has a hefty dose of protein to start your day off right!
Ingredients
INGREDIENTS (Metric)
1 cup gluten-free, rolled oats (Note 1)
1 cup skim milk or 2% milk (Note 2)
1 cup water
30 g whey protein powder (Note 3), flavour of your choice
INGREDIENTS (Imperial)
1 cup gluten-free, rolled oats (Note 1)
1 cup skim milk or 2% milk (Note 2)
1 cup water
1 oz whey protein powder (Note 3), flavour of your choice
Directions
Add oats, milk and water into a saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat for approx. 3 minutes, while stirring regularly to prevent it sticking.
Once it starts bubbling, cook for a further 1 minute, then remove from heat.
Add the protein powder and mix in thoroughly.
Handy Tip… Wait for the oats to cool down slightly, as the heat will cause the whey protein to cook and become grainy.
Divide proats between 2 bowls or containers.
Enjoy!
