  • 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)

    • optional: 1-1 1/2 tbsp chocolate (or regular) granola

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. 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.
  2.  In the meantime, mix together the protein powder, cocoa powder, water, and optional spices in a glass until no lumps remain.
  3. Remove the oatmeal from the oven, pour the chocolate frosting on top and top with your favourite toppings. Serve immediately.
