Oatmeal is one of my favorite breakfasts. It’s easy to make, gives you energy and tastes delicious! Since I’ve been running more often I find that I am much hungrier throughout the day and crave carbs! To combat my hunger and cravings I combined my two favorite things, chocolate protein, and oatmeal to create this delicious gluten-free oatmeal.
If you are not gluten-free then you can swap out for your favorite oats. I also use almond milk but if you prefer whole milk or a different kind then that will also work for this recipe. Finally, if you don’t like chocolate protein then you can easily swap out in equal quantities to one you prefer.
Ingredients
Servings: 1
- 1/2 cup Trader Joes Gluten-free oats
- 1 cup Orgain chocolate protein– Use code RUNNINGWITHT for 30% off your first purchase *Ambassador code*
- 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk – or your favorite – depending on the consistency you like will depend on how much milk you add, I prefer my oatmeal more milky than thick
- 1 banana mashed (to add into oatmeal) or chopped (to top oatmeal) – choose which way you prefer (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped strawberries and blueberries mixed (to add on top of oatmeal or to cook into, choose which you prefer) (optional)
Directions
- Add almond milk to a saucepan and warm up, then add oats, stir. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes or until oats have softened up to your preference.
- Add in chocolate protein, skip adding in mashed banana and fruits if you want to instead top your oatmeal with these. If not then add to saucepan
- Cook for another 3 minutes to soften the fruit. If your oatmeal is a thick consistency and you prefer it milkier then add in more almond milk.
- ENJOY 🙂
