Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup oatmeal
- 2 cups milk or almond milk
- 1 scoop protein powder
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Banana slices for topping
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup of oatmeal, 2 cups of milk or almond milk, 1 scoop of protein powder, 1 tablespoon of honey, and banana slices for topping.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the 1 cup of oatmeal and 2 cups of milk (or almond milk). Place the saucepan over medium heat.
- Stir the mixture gently to ensure the oatmeal is evenly distributed in the liquid. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.
- Once the mixture reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent the oatmeal from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- After 5 minutes, check the consistency of the oatmeal. If you prefer a creamier texture, you can add a little more milk or almond milk at this stage.
- Once the oatmeal is cooked to your liking, remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in 1 scoop of protein powder and 1 tablespoon of honey until both are fully incorporated.
- Let the oatmeal sit for a minute to cool slightly and thicken. During this time, prepare your banana slices for topping.
- Divide the creamy oatmeal mixture between two bowls. Top each bowl with banana slices as desired.
- For added flavor, you may drizzle a little extra honey over the banana slices if you like.
- Serve immediately while warm, and enjoy your healthy, creamy golden protein cereal!
Tips
- Milk Selection Matters: While the recipe works great with both regular and almond milk, choose a milk that complements your taste preferences. Full-fat milk will create an extra creamy texture, while almond milk offers a lighter alternative.
- Protein Powder Perfection: Use a high-quality protein powder that mixes well. Vanilla or unflavored varieties work best to maintain the golden, creamy flavor of the oatmeal.
- Consistency is Key: Keep stirring your oatmeal to prevent sticking and ensure an even, smooth texture. If it becomes too thick, don't hesitate to add a splash of extra milk.
- Topping Variations: While banana slices are delicious, get creative! Try topping with berries, nuts, chia seeds, or a sprinkle of cinnamon to keep things interesting.
- Meal Prep Hack: You can prepare this recipe in advance and reheat it, making it perfect for busy mornings. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and gently reheat with a splash of milk to restore the creamy consistency.
- Sweetness Control: Adjust the honey to your taste. For a lower-sugar option, you can use a sugar-free sweetener or reduce the amount of honey.
