Tips:
- Begin by measuring out all your ingredients to make the cooking process smoother.
- In a medium-sized pot, bring 1 cup of water to a boil over medium heat.
- Add the 3/4 cup multi-grain oatmeal to the boiling water. Reduce heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until it absorbs most of the water and becomes thick.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg white until it is frothy. This will help to better integrate it into the oatmeal.
- Slowly add the whisked egg white to the simmering oatmeal, stirring constantly to avoid any clumping. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Mix in the 1/2 scoop whey protein powder and 2 tsp of dry cocoa powder, stirring well to ensure they are evenly distributed.
- Add the 1 tbsp flaxseed oil and stir until it's completely integrated into the oatmeal.
- Finally, stir in the 1 cup of frozen blueberries. Allow the oatmeal to simmer for another minute until the blueberries are warmed through.
- Serve your blueberry oatmeal hot, topping it with extra blueberries if desired.
Enjoy your blueberry oatmeal as a wholesome and satiating breakfast. By incorporating protein powder, flaxseed oil, and cocoa powder, this recipe provides a balanced mix of protein, healthy fats, and carbohydrates to help you start your day on the right foot.
