Chef's Note
To ensure your protein powder doesn't create grainy lumps, always mix it with a tiny bit of water or milk into a paste before stirring it into the hot oats off the heat.

Ingredients
1/3 cup old fashioned rolled oats
1/2 medium apple
25 grams whey protein powder
1/2 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
2 tbsp walnuts
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- 1
Wash 1/2 medium apple under cold water and dice into small 1/2-inch pieces, removing the core.
- 2
In a small saucepan, combine 1/3 cup old fashioned rolled oats, 1 cup water, and a pinch of salt.
- 3
Add the diced apple pieces to the saucepan and bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
- 4
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are creamy and the liquid is mostly absorbed.
- 5
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon.
- 6
In a small separate bowl, mix 25 grams whey protein powder with 1 tablespoon of water to create a smooth paste, then stir this into the oats to prevent clumping.
- 7
Gently fold in 1/2 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt until the mixture is well combined and reaches a thick, creamy consistency.
- 8
Roughly chop 2 tbsp walnuts and sprinkle them over the top of the oats before serving.
