These 5-Minute Protein Oats Are Completely Customizable

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at UNCA chapter.

What are Proats? Proats are the shorter version of protein oats and they are delicious, if made right. I have spent months perfecting the perfect ratio for amazing proats that don’t go dry or taste like mud. Instead these taste like brownie batter goodness. The best part is the whole process takes under five minutes so you can hit snooze at least five times.

#SpoonTip: I prefer a whey/casein blend protein powder as it mixes well.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Abigail Yeager

    Mix the oats and water in a microwave safe bowl, then put into the microwave for 1 min 30 sec. Keep an eye on it so it doesn’t overflow!

  2. Abigail Yeager

    Remove the bowl from the microwave, careful it’s hot! Add in the protein powder and mix while gradually adding in the almond milk.

  3. Abigail Yeager

    Put in microwave for another 30 sec for less mushy oats. (I prefer mine mushy.)

  4. Abigail Yeager

    GIVE ME ALL THE TOPPINGS! Go bananas, literally put bananas on your oats it will change the game. I love putting strawberries, mini chocolate chips, and hemp seeds on mine!

And that’s it! Now go devour those oats, you gainz maker you.
