Power Protein Oatmeal

Let’s start off with a dish that’s familiar to all of us—oatmeal! Oats are rich in fiber, phosphorus, thiamine, magnesium, and zinc which makes them a great breakfast choice. I like to enjoy a nice bowl of oatmeal on busy mornings before work since they keep to me full until lunch and they’re quick and convenient. But, the first of our high-protein recipes is a TLS-approved spin on this classic breakfast:

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 scoop TLS® Nutrition Shake or Whey – Vanilla
  • 1 1/4 cup water (or milk of choice)
  • 1 Medjool date
  • 1 T crunchy almond butter
  • 1/2 banana
  • 1/2 cup berries (frozen or fresh)
  • A drizzle of maple syrup (optional)
  • Cinnamon

Preparation

  • Mix oats and protein powder in a microwavable bowl.
  • Add liquid of choice (water or milk) and microwave for 2 minutes.
  • Chop up the Medjool date and banana while the oats are cooking.
  • Add date pieces to the oatmeal and stir well before microwaving the mixture for another 30 seconds.
  • Top with banana, berries, and cinnamon before drizzling almond butter on top. (If using frozen berries, mix those directly into the hot oatmeal so they soften.)
