Notes
Oats:
Use a cup of old-fashioned rolled oats,
not quick oats
.
Chia Seeds:
Chia seeds are a top pick for a protein boost. If not available, ground flax seeds are a great substitute.
Milk:
Use either whole or 2% milk. Plant-based alternatives like almond, oat, coconut, or soy milk can also be used.
Sweeten as Needed
: Some protein powders are already sweetened, but you can add honey, maple syrup, or other sweeteners for extra flavor.
Flavor Boost
: A pinch of sea salt can flavor the oatmeal.
Soak
: For the best texture, refrigerate the oats overnight. They'll keep well for 3 to 5 days in the fridge.
Stir Until Smooth:
Stir your oats well after taking them out of the fridge to redistribute any settled liquid.
