Ingredients:
- ¾ ounce instant oatmeal, dry, unsweetened
- 1–1½ scoops protein powder, vanilla or chocolate flavored
- ½ tablespoon natural almond butter or natural peanut butter
Method of Preparation:
- Stir oats and water (for correct amount of water, see oatmeal package) in a bowl, and microwave on high according to package directions.
- Very slowly, stir in desired amount of protein powder a little at a time until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Quick note: Because protein powders vary in sweetness, you may choose to only use half of your recommended protein powder in your oatmeal. If so, please mix your
remaining protein powder with water and drink on the side to ensure you are getting your recommended intake of protein. - Add natural almond butter or peanut butter and mix well.
- Enjoy.
