Chef's Note

For an extra creamy texture, you can pulse half of the cooked oatmeal in a blender before combining with the rest. If preparing ahead, the oatmeal will thicken considerably in the refrigerator, so you may want to add a splash of milk before reheating. For a time-saving option, the nuts can be toasted in advance and stored in an airtight container for up to two weeks.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats

  • 2 cups milk (dairy or plant-based)

  • 2 cups water

  • 4 scoops vanilla protein powder

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt, plain, non-fat

  • 2 tablespoons honey

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

  • 1 cup fresh blackberries

  • 1 medium banana, sliced

  • 1/2 cup almonds, toasted and chopped

  • 1/2 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped

  • 1/4 cup chia seeds

  • 1/4 cup flaxseeds, ground

  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves

Instructions
  • 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the almonds and walnuts on a baking sheet and toast for 8-10 minutes until fragrant and lightly browned. Allow to cool, then roughly chop.

  • 2

    In a large saucepan, combine 2 cups of rolled oats, 2 cups of milk, and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat.

  • 3

    Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are tender and the mixture has thickened.

  • 4

    Remove from heat and stir in 4 scoops of vanilla protein powder until completely dissolved.

  • 5

    Add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Stir well to combine.

  • 6

    Fold in 1/4 cup of chia seeds and 1/4 cup of ground flaxseeds.

  • 7

    Let the oatmeal cool slightly (about 5 minutes), then stir in 1 cup of Greek yogurt and 2 tablespoons of honey.

  • 8

    Prepare the fruit by washing and slicing 1 cup of strawberries and 1 medium banana. Keep 1 cup of blueberries and 1 cup of blackberries whole after washing.

  • 9

    Chop 1/4 cup of fresh mint leaves, reserving a few whole leaves for garnish.

  • 10

    To assemble each bowl, divide the oatmeal mixture equally among 4 serving bowls (about 1 cup per bowl).

  • 11

    Top each bowl with equal portions of the prepared fruits, toasted nuts, and a sprinkle of the chopped mint leaves.

  • 12

    Garnish with the reserved whole mint leaves and serve immediately, or refrigerate and eat cold or reheated the next day.
