Ingredients
- 1 cup regular rolled oats gluten-free as needed
- ½ cup frozen blueberries wild is best
- 1.25 cup hemp milk or almond milk
- ⅓ cup vegan protein powder
- 2 tbs honey
- ¼ cup coconut milk
- ¼ cup water
Instructions
- In a small pot, combine the oats, hemp milk, and half of the coconut milk.
- Heat over medium heat until a rolling boil just begins.
- Mix in the frozen blueberries and continue to cook for 1-2 minutes. You want to keep as much liquid in the pot as possible (versus boiling it off).
- Remove from heat and stir in the honey and protein powder. Mix really well until all protein powder is combined.
- Swirl in the remaining coconut milk, portion into bowls and top with extra berries or pecans.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Due to the pea protein in vegan protein powder, it tends to absorb liquid very easily. However, each protein powder has a unique breakdown.
- Thus, the protein powder you choose will affect the texture of the protein oatmeal.
- Make sure not to heat the oatmeal too much when cooking/after adding the blueberries. You want a lot of liquid left to add in the protein powder.
- Otherwise, it will turn into a sticky, thick mess versus creamy and smooth.
- Fresh blueberries will work in place of frozen but you’ll want to add one tablespoon of water with them.
- Oat milk, soy milk, and hemp milk all work in the recipe.
- Likewise, the small “wild” blueberries work in place of the regular ones. Personally, we like the wild ones best because there’s more of them.
