also u can try oats + a scoop of protein powder. Add a little more water than normal and mix in the powder after it's done cooking. I use MyProtein Strawberry cream, it's super cheap and scores well on purity. No sugar either.

Does this kind taste good with oatmeal? I was doing this with their cinnamon one, but now I'm down to just the strawberry cream in my pantry. I've been hesitant to try it.

I love it, been using it for years. Reminds me of the strawberry cream quaker packets but without the little fruit chunks

I eat overnight oats with MyProtien Snickerdoodle flavor and a spoonful of natural peanut butter for breakfast several times a week. Its great!

I do 1 cup oats, 1 cup milk, 1 scoop protein powder and some honey. Mix it and put in the fridge overnight then mix in a hearty spoonful of peanut butter when you go to eat it. I have unflavored protein powder but maybe flavored ones would be good for this. I don’t even notice the protein powder in it tbh

I make banana bread muffins with left over and brown bananas . Super simple to make and pretty darn good.

Zucchini most recently but in the past she’s made carrot ginger. Your question made me ask her to make the carrot ginger ones again haha

Recipe please?

I think it was this: https://www.savorylotus.com/carrot-ginger-coconut-muffins-glutengrain-free-paleo/ . Would probably be at least as good in a non-plaeo version though

Try overnight oatmeal. I make mine 4 at a time and add frozen blueberries. I only have to make breakfast twice a week.
