Berry Protein Oats

Breakfast is where most women lose the protein game. This one closes the gap without asking anything of you before coffee.

Bowl of creamy steel-cut oats topped with fresh berries and a spoon of almond butter

Directions

  1. 01

    Cook the oats

    Bring the liquid and a pinch of salt to a boil, stir in the oats, reduce to a simmer and cook 6–8 minutes until creamy.

  2. 02

    Cool slightly, then add protein

    Take the pot off the heat and let it sit for a minute. Whisk in the protein powder with a splash of extra liquid — adding it off the heat keeps the texture smooth.

  3. 03

    Warm the berries

    Add the berries to the hot oats and stir; they'll soften and turn everything a beautiful colour.

  4. 04

    Top and eat

    Spoon into a bowl, add almond butter and a dusting of cinnamon.

Susan's note

Make it overnight: stir everything cold in a jar and let it sit in the fridge. Same protein, zero morning effort.
