High Protein Oatmeal
Serves: 1 Prep Time: 5 mins
INGREDIENTS
- Oatmeal:
- 1/2 cup quick oats
- 1 1/4 cups water
- cinnamon to taste
- Chocolate frosting:
- 1 full scoop vanilla protein powder (not just to the line)
- 1/3-1/2 cup water

- more cinnamon to taste
- Toppings:

- optional: 1-1 1/2 tbsp chocolate (or regular) granola
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a soup bowl, combine the oats, water and cinnamon and microwave for approx. 2 minutes. Make sure to check on the oatmeal regularly as each microwave is different so the oatmeal doesn’t boil over.
- In the meantime, mix together the protein powder, cocoa powder, water, and optional spices in a glass until no lumps remain.
- Remove the oatmeal from the oven, pour the chocolate frosting on top and top with your favourite toppings. Serve immediately.
