How to Make Low Calorie High Protein Oatmeal
Depending on the protein powder you use, you may need to add more water to your protein oatmeal recipes.
I recommend adding 1 tablespoon at a time as you are mixing in the protein powder.
How To Make Healthy Protein Oatmeal:
- Add the oats, water and salt to a pot, stir to combine.
- Heat over medium heat for 8-10 minutes or until all the liquid is mostly absorbed, stirring once or twice.
- Remove from the heat and stir in protein powder.
- If the oats get too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons water.
- Pour into a bowl and top with remaining ingredients (nuts, fruit, honey, nut butter) depending on the recipe you chose.
