This is absolutely my go-to breakfast. I eat it every day, particularly on mornings where I am going to workout. You can also make a super similar overnight oats variation on this. They taste good. It is the perfect blend of carbs (quick energy) and protein (muscle building) to prepare my body for a workout. And, what I love most, these are so versatile. Literally–anything goes. I love to add peanut butter and banana. Or berries. Sometimes I top with this super yum granola.
The key when adding protein powder is to have one that blends easily. Nothing worse than clumpy protein in your oats. I suggest one below that blends quite easily. It is whey based though. I have struggled to find an easy-to-blend vegan option. Please comment below if you know of one!
