How do you like your oats?

So we've been on this protein kick lately. I add it to everything it seems like. Protein smoothies, protein pudding, etc. My favorite so far is a big bowl of Chocolate Whey and banana oats. Thick, hearty, great combo for a cold day. Easy to make and even better if you let them sit in the fridge overnight.

1. 1 cup old fashion rolled Oats
2. 1 scoop chocolate whey
3. 1 banana
4. 1/2 cup Almond milk
5. 1/2 tbsp almond butter (optional)

We use a kettle to cook our oats. So I boiled the kettle, poured the hot water over my oats, added the chocolate whey and stirred. Then I let them sit (covered) for a few minutes, stir again. Then add milk and almond butter, stir and cook in microwave for a minute more. Then add your banana on top (you can mix it all together or just leave the banana slices on top). I let our sit over night and that way they were even thicker in the morning. YUM! Yes, simple recipe but sometimes simple is good.

Simple oats are the best! I think you have the perfect combo right there. I also like oats with egg whites and nut butter!

Those oats do look really good! I made almost the exact same thing the other day, but didn't have any milk becuse I was at work. The clutch ingrdient that I added was just a tiny little bit of coffee. I don't life coffee, but it made for a really nice flavor!
