1

Add oats, milk and water into a saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat for approx. 3 minutes, while stirring regularly to prevent it sticking.

2

Once it starts bubbling, cook for a further 1 minute, then remove from heat.

3

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.

4

Divide proats between 2 bowls or containers.

Enjoy!
