Prep Time 3 minutes
Cook Time 2 minutes
Total Time 7 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup liquid egg whites
  • 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk (divided)
  • 1-2 tablespoons vanilla protein powder
  • 2 teaspoons chia seeds
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (or other preferred fruit)

For Topping (optional)

  • Drizzle of natural peanut butter
  • Sprinkle of hemp hearts

Instructions

  • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the oats, egg whites and 1/2 cup almond milk. Microwave for 2 minutes, stopping to stir the oatmeal vigorously every 30 seconds (this is important for fluffy oatmeal). 
  • Stir in the protein powder, chia seeds and cinnamon and an additional 2 tablespoons of almond milk (or until desired creaminess is achieved). Allow oatmeal to sit for 2 minutes.
  • Stir in blueberries or other desired fruit. Top with a drizzle of natural peanut butter and sprinkle of hemp hearts, if desired.

Notes

    • My favorite protein powder to use is Good Protein powder. It’s so delicious and comes in lots of different flavors. 
    • If you don't have vanilla protein powder, you can leave it out or sweeten the oatmeal with a bit of maple syrup or other desired sweetener.
    • DON'T overcook your oatmeal or the egg whites will turn out rubbery and have more of an "eggy" taste. Instead, cook the oatmeal in 30 second increments until creamy and fluffy. The chia seeds and protein powder will help to thicken the oatmeal more after cooking.
    • This recipe makes one bowl of oatmeal. The nutritional information does not include the peanut butter or hemp hearts, so you'll have to factor that in if you chose to add those toppings.
