Ingredients

Scale

½ cup old-fashioned oats
2 tbsp crunchy peanut butter
1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
1 scoop (~25g) whey or plant-based protein powder
1 tbsp honey
½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Sliced bananas, chia seeds, or berries (for topping)
Crushed peanuts or dark chocolate shavings (for garnish)


Instructions

Combine oats, peanut butter, and protein powder in a bowl.

Pour liquid first, then add dry ingredients to prevent clumps
Cold milk produces a thicker texture
Hydrate fiber-rich protein powders by mixing with milk first
Maple syrup can replace honey for a vegan option
