How To Make Protein Oats at Home

Depending on the protein powder you use, you may need to add more water to your protein oatmeal recipes.

We recommend adding 1 tablespoon at a time as you are mixing in the protein powder.

How To Make Protein Oatmeal:

1. Add the oats, water and salt to a pot, stir to combine.
2. Heat over medium heat for 8-10 minutes or until all the liquid is mostly absorbed, stirring once or twice.
3. Remove from the heat and stir in protein powder.
4. If the oats get too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons water.
5. Pour into a bowl and top with remaining ingredients (nuts, fruit, honey, nut butter) depending on the recipe you chose.

Special Tip: You can find these directions, along with measurements, nutrition and more in the sharable recipe card in the next section!
