Chocolate Strawberry Oatmeal
Ingredients
1/3 cup oatmeal
1 cup water
1 scoop chocolate protein powder
3 large strawberries (or 5 small) cut in half or in quarters
Directions
Cook 1/3 cup dry oatmeal in 1 cup of water. Mix 1 scoop of protein powder with just a little bit of water, in a separate bowl, until it becomes thick. Add the powder and water mixture to the oatmeal. Top with cut strawberries and enjoy!
This is a super easy way to get in a high protein, high fiber and very filling breakfast.
For time saving purposes, I make several servings of oatmeal at once and keep it in the refrigerator for the next few days. In the morning, I scoop out 1 serving (1 heaping cup full) and heat it up on the stove top. Saves me a few minutes in the morning (every second counts, right?).

Looks good. I assume this uses regular oatmeal and not the instant.
I haven’t tried this yet. I am Scottish born and oatmeal is a staple in our diet. It seems an odd thing to do – making it a dessert by adding chocolate and strawberries. Even for brekky.
I also have a question – what do you think about Nutella. I live in Queensland, Australia and some of the things you talk about is very American and not how my husband and I eat (most Aussies) anyway. I’m 62 years old and am only a few kilo over weight about 4 kg’s and that has only come about in the last 18 months because we have been travelling all over OZ in a caravan. Cheers Sylvia.
The first ingredient in Nutella is sugar, and it also contains soy and skim milk – these are all things that should be avoided.
Yes, NEVER instant oatmeal.
