Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats Old-fashioned rolled oats work best for a creamy texture.
  • 1 cup milk or unsweetened almond milk Dairy or plant-based milk can be used.
  • 1 scoop chocolate protein powder Use your preferred whey or plant-based powder, about 30 g.
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt Adds creaminess and extra protein.
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds For fiber and omega-3s.
  • 1/2 cup blueberries or 1 small banana, sliced Fresh or frozen fruit can be used.
  • 1 tbsp almond butter or peanut butter Room temperature for easy drizzling.
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon For flavor enhancement.
  • 1 pinch salt Enhances overall flavor.

Instructions

Cooking

  • Add the rolled oats, milk, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to a small saucepan.
  • Cook over medium heat, stirring often until the oats absorb most of the liquid and become creamy, about 5–7 minutes.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it sit for about 1 minute to cool slightly.
  • Gradually stir in the chocolate protein powder until smooth and fully dissolved.
  • Gently fold in the Greek yogurt until the oatmeal is thick and silky.
  • Transfer the oatmeal to a bowl. Top with fruit, chia seeds, and a spoonful of almond or peanut butter.
  • If the texture is too thick, add a small splash of milk and stir to loosen. Serve warm.

Notes

For best results, plate in a shallow bowl to allow toppings to spread. Use a spoonful of full-fat Greek yogurt for a creamier mouthfeel. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 48 hours, reheat with a splash of milk.
