Oats + protein powder has been a go-to breakfast of mine for years. Quick, easy & sweet tooth satisfied. I’ve done overnight oats–the ultimate lazy way to prepare–microwave, stovetop, you name it, I’ve tried it.
Recently though I made a large batch of quinoa & had plenty leftover so I decided to get a little crazy. Oats & quinoa are similar–they’re in the carb family, I figured why not use them interchangeably..?
Ingredients:
100g (about 1/2 cup?) cooked quinoa
1/2 almond milk
130g (also about 1/2 cup) liquid egg whites
Chai tea of your choice
1 scoop cinnamon protein powder
splash of vanilla
splash of stevia
Instructions:
Boil almond milk on the stove (careful not to let it burn) simultaneously steep the tea. Turn heat down to medium & add vanilla, stevia & protein powder. Mix well in attempt to get all the lumps out. Pour your liquid egg whites in the mix then lastly add in your quinoa. Mix it all up & let it cook for a few to let the quinoa absorb some of the liquid.
Broil some pecans or walnuts for a few minutes & add those on top for some healthy fats.
Let me know if you try this out! I want to try it with the Celestial Sugar Cookie flavor. Me ohhh myyy. Taste bud party!
