Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1/2 banana
- 2 dates (pitted)
- 1/2 cup oats (rolled)
- 2 cup water
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
- 1 teaspoon cinammon
- 1/4 cup blueberries (fresh)
- 1/4 cup strawberries (fresh)
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds
Instructions
- Blend the base mix. Add almond milk, banana, and dates to a blender. Blend until smooth. Set aside.
- Cook the oats. In a small pot, add the oats, the water, and the chia seeds. Cook on medium heat until the mixture begins to thicken.
- Add the blended mix and protein powder. When the oats are about three-quarters cooked, pour in the blended mixture and add some cinnamon. Stir well. Add the protein powder and stir until creamy. To support easier digestion, especially for sensitive stomachs, add the protein powder after the oats are fully cooked and slightly cooled, rather than cooking it directly.
- Customize and serve. Transfer the oatmeal into a bowl and customize: add the maple syrup, fresh fruit toppings, and pumpkin seeds. Enjoy warm.
Notes
If you experience bloating or gas, I recommend adding protein powder after cooking. High heat can change the structure of some plant proteins, making them harder to digest for sensitive stomachs.
This is my go-to breakfast when life gets busy, and I still want to feel nourished, full, and on track with my goals. I eat this at least five days a week for breakfast, mostly, and sometimes for snack. It’s warm, comforting, and gives me steady energy for hours.
Feel free to make it your own with different fruits or flavor. And if you try it, let me know in the comments. I love hearing from you and how you customize it. 😊
