Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Rolled oats
  • 1 cup Water
  • 1 pinch Sea salt

Protein Mix

  • 1/2 cup Cottage cheese (2% fat recommended)
  • 2 tbsp Whey protein powder (or any protein powder of your choice)

Flavor Enhancers

  • 1 tbsp Honey
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook Oats: Combine the rolled oats, water, and a pinch of sea salt in a small saucepan. Cook the mixture over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the oats have thickened and reached a creamy consistency.
  2. Prepare Protein Mixture: While the oats are cooking, place the cottage cheese and whey protein powder into a small blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
  3. Mix Together: Stir the blended cottage cheese and protein powder mixture into the cooked oats thoroughly. If desired, add vanilla extract to taste and mix well to combine all the flavors.
  4. Serve: Transfer the protein-enhanced oatmeal to a bowl. Enjoy it plain or topped with fresh fruit, and optionally drizzle some extra honey over the top for added sweetness.

Notes

  • You can substitute whey protein powder with any other protein powder to suit your dietary preference.
  • For a dairy-free option, try using plant-based protein powders and a dairy-free cottage cheese alternative.
  • Add fresh fruits like berries, banana slices, or nuts for extra texture and nutrients.
  • Adjust the cooking time depending on your preferred oatmeal consistency.
  • Using low-fat cottage cheese keeps the recipe lower in fat while maintaining creaminess.
