Ingredients

Units
  • 1 cup (100 g) oatmeal*
  • 1 scoop (30 g) protein powder
  • 1/8 tsp salt, optional
  • 2/3 cup soy milk
  • 2/3 cup egg whites*

Instructions

For warm oats

  1. Add oats, salt and soy milk to a bowl and stir.
  2. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes until oats are soft. It should be quite thick.
  3. Add in the egg whites and mix. Then add in the protein powder and mix well until there are no more chunks of protein powder. 
  4. If you want the oats warmer, microwave on high in 30 second intervals until heated through. Don’t microwave for too long or it will turn into a thick cake-like texture. 
  5. Add toppings of choice and enjoy!

For cold, overnight oats

  1. Mix the oatmeal, protein powder and salt. Add in the soy milk and egg whites and stir together. Place into the fridge overnight.
  2. The next day, give it a mix. If its too thick, add a bit more liquid until desired consistency. Add toppings of choice and enjoy!

Notes

  • *Use instant or rolled oats. Instant oats make a creamier texture while rolled oats will make it thicker and chewier. We like to do a blend of both. 
  • **Egg whites can be substituted for blended up soft of silken tofu (180 grams)

  4. Hello Lisa
    I have to admit this is really unexagerated from you to name this recipe the best because it is true ! I halved the quantities for my personnals intakes but this is just perfect. I mean the texture is soft and so good in mouth not soggy not runny. Zucchini adds volume and tofu add this soft taste without compromising anything! Just just 👌

    Will make it again !!
