Ingredients:
- 1 scoop nutraMetrix Tower+ Whey Protein Powder
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup water or milk (almond, soy, or regular)
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/2 cup fresh fruit (e.g., berries, banana slices, apple chunks)
- 1 tablespoon nuts or seeds (e.g., almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds)
- 1 tablespoon natural sweetener (e.g., honey, maple syrup, or agave syrup)
Instructions:
1. Cook the Oats:
In a small pot, bring the water or milk to a boil. Add the rolled oats and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are soft and have absorbed most of the liquid.
2. Mix in Protein Powder:
Remove the pot from heat and let it cool slightly. Stir in the nutraMetrix Tower+ Whey Protein Powder until fully combined. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of water or milk to reach your desired consistency.
3. Add Flavor Enhancers:
Mix in the cinnamon and vanilla extract, if using, to enhance the flavor.
4. Incorporate Chia Seeds:
Stir in the chia seeds. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes so the chia seeds can absorb some of the liquid and swell.
5. Top with Fresh Fruit:
Transfer the oatmeal to a serving bowl. Arrange the fresh fruit on top.
6. Add Nuts/Seeds and Sweetener:
Sprinkle with nuts or seeds for added crunch and nutrition. Drizzle with your choice of natural sweetener for a touch of sweetness.
7. Serve and Enjoy:
Enjoy your healthy, protein-packed oatmeal breakfast bowl warm.
Tips:
- Customize: Feel free to add other toppings such as shredded coconut, dark chocolate chips, or a dollop of nut butter for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Make Ahead: Prepare the oats the night before and store in the refrigerator. In the morning, simply reheat and add your fresh toppings.
