Instructions
1️⃣ In a small pot, combine oats, almond milk, chia seeds, vanilla, and cinnamon.
2️⃣ Heat on medium, stirring first minute to prevent chia clumps, then simmer 5–7 mins until creamy. Stir occasionally.
3️⃣ Remove from heat—stir in protein powder until smooth (off-heat = no lumps!).
4️⃣ Pour into your coziest bowl. Top with fresh berries, a drizzle of honey, nut butter, or crunchy nuts.
Notes
• Make overnight oats: Combine all ingredients in a jar, chill overnight—wake up ready!
• Swap vanilla protein for chocolate, swirl in PB for a dessert vibe.
• Add grated apple while cooking for apple pie feels.
• Vegan? Use plant protein + maple syrup.
