Notes

If you don’t have any rolled oats, try using instant oats instead.
This is the protein powder I use.
For even more protein, stir in some non-fat Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or nut or seed butter.
Try out different flavour add-ins like maple syrup, brown sugar, pumpkin spice or vanilla extract.
Store individual serving sizes in the fridge for up to 5 days. Remove any toppings then microwave for 2 minutes or eat the oatmeal cold.
