Introduction
This recipe has been a go-to of mine for years. It’s high in protein (roughly 25 – 35g), high in carbohydrates (roughly 60- 80g) and high in fibre. Yes, the name is a bit cringe, but these oats really do work everywhere and with everything. Whether you are at home or on the go, these oats are perfect to have prepared. Also, you’ll notice the ingredients are vague, and that’s on purpose. Like a particular ingredient? Put it in. Don’t have something? Don’t like something? Leave it out. Essentially, regardless of what you you do or what you like, with this recipe, you will never have an excuse to not have a well-balanced breakfast.
Ingredients
Dry
- 60-90g of Oats (i.e. 2-3 Scoops)
- A Tablespoon of Nuts (E.g. Pecan, Peanuts, Walnuts etc.)
- A Tablespoon of Seeds (E.g. Pumpkin, Sunflower etc.)
- A Tablespoon of Dried Fruit (E.g. Dates, Raisins, Cranberries.)
- Pinch of Salt
- Scoop of Protein Powder (Any flavour you like)
Wet
- 2 Tablespoons of Yogurt of Choice (Preferably a good quality, high protein option. A vegan option also works)
- Milk of Choice (Dairy or non-dairy works)
- 1 Tablespoons Of Maple Syrup/Honey
To Serve
Fruit of Choice (e.g. Strawberries, Blueberries, Grapes etc.), Nut Butter of Choice (e.g. Peanut Butter, Almond Butter etc.).
Steps
1. Pick your favourite bowl/tupperware you want to make your oats in.
2. Put all your dry ingredients in and mix.
3. Put all your wet into the dry and mix well. The one thing you need to figure out here is the amount of milk you want. I would start by adding enough to cover all the ingredients and then mix (probably 200-300ml). Once you have done that, you can start to add a bit more based on the consistency you like. A consistently similar to a smoothie at this stage is normally a good start, as it will thicken overnight.
4. Leave in the fridge for 2-3 hours/overnight for optimal results, but, if you are stuck, you could eat it right then and there too.
