Notes

TO STORE: Leftovers can be stored in the fridge, covered, for up to five days.

TO FREEZE: Place the cooked and cooled oats in freezer-safe containers and store in the freezer for up to 6 months.

REHEATING: Microwave the oats for 30-40 seconds until warm. Add more milk or water, if needed.

Best protein powder for oatmeal:

Casein protein powder. This protein provides the thickest texture. If you add casein protein, you will need to add an extra 1/2-1 cup of liquid to compensate for it.
Brown rice protein powder. Vegan and gluten-free protein powder. It’s thick and mixes well, and can come in a variety of flavors. Be wary, though, some brands can have an ‘earthy’ texture, meaning it can have quite a distinct taste. Stick to vanilla, chocolate, or plain varieties.
Whey protein powder. While not as thick as the other two kinds of powder, whey is easy to find at any grocery store and has minimal ingredients.
