A simple recipe for chocolate raspberry protein oats made with quick oats, protein powder, almond milk, ground flaxseed, and fresh berries. 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. 😉
