This is my go-to quick vegan breakfast on busy mornings. Filled with fiber, Omega-3 fatty acids, plant-based protein, and anti-oxidant-rich berries, this protein oatmeal recipe is very filling and sure to keep you energized all morning! Adjust the ingredient amounts as needed for your appetite.
1cupfrozen mixed berries - use as much or as little fruit as you like!
1scoop plant-based vanilla protein powder
ground cinnamon, optional
handful ofnuts and/or seeds such as walnuts, almonds, pistachios, hemp hearts, ground flax seeds, pepitas, etc. - or nut/seed butter such as almond, peanut, or sunbutter.
Instructions
Place oats in a microwave-safe bowl. Add just enough water to barely cover the oats. Microwave on high power for 50 to 75 seconds (depending on the volume of oats) or until puffy and hot.
Stir in frozen berries and a generous splash of milk. Add protein powder and a dash of cinnamon, and stir until incorporated. Add more milk if needed.
Top with your favorite nuts and seeds and a few more berries (or chopped banana or apple when you're in the mood for a change). Enjoy!
Notes
If you accidentally prepare too much oatmeal, store leftovers in a container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Makes a great afternoon snack.
