A simple recipe for chocolate protein oats made with quick oats, protein powder, almond milk, ground flaxseed, and fresh raspberries. These oats and whey make the perfect breakfast on the go, ready in under 5 minutes.
I love starting out my day with a hearty bowl of oatmeal. It's filling, nutritious and great for getting in a generous serving of dietary fiber. I love the steel-cut variety, for their great texture, but I also love how rich and creamy these super quick and easy protein oats turn out. Not to mention, you also can't go wrong with chocolate. 😉
Recipe Ingredients
- Quick oats
- Milk of choice (I used Almond Breeze regular unsweetened)
- Chocolate whey protein powder
- Ground flaxseed
- Pinch of salt
- Fresh raspberries
- Optional: Real maple syrup
Recipe Directions
- In a shaker jar, combine almond milk, whey and ground flaxseed.
- Shake to mix.
- Pour oats into a large, microwave-safe, bowl.
- Add salt and whey mixture and stir to mix.
- Microwave on high in 30 second intervals, stirring after each, until oats reach desired consistency. Mine took 2 ½ minutes total. Microwave temps vary, so adjust accordingly.
- Top with fresh raspberries and maple syrup
Recipe Tip
It's important to use a good-quality whey protein isolate that dissolves well when mixed. I have used Earth Fed Muscle chocolate whey and Legion chocolate whey with great results.
How To Make Chocolate Protein Overnight Oats
You can make chocolate protein overnight oats with this recipe, just reduce the milk to ¾ cup. Pour the oats and flax into a mason jar, mix the wet ingredients in a shaker bottle and pour over the oats. Stir to mix. I like to add in 1-2 teaspoons of chia seeds for an added nutrition boost. Top with the raspberries just before serving.
