Equipment

Small pot

Ingredients

1 cup regular rolled oats gluten-free as needed
½ cup frozen blueberries wild is best
1.25 cup hemp milk or almond milk
⅓ cup vegan protein powder
2 tbs honey
¼ cup coconut milk
¼ cup water

Instructions

In a small pot, combine the oats, hemp milk, and half of the coconut milk.
Heat over medium heat until a rolling boil just begins.
Mix in the frozen blueberries and continue to cook for 1-2 minutes. You want to keep as much liquid in the pot as possible (versus boiling it off).
Remove from heat and stir in the honey and protein powder. Mix really well until all protein powder is combined.
Swirl in the remaining coconut milk, portion into bowls and top with extra berries or pecans.

Notes

Due to the pea protein in vegan protein powder, it tends to absorb liquid very easily. However, each protein powder has a unique breakdown.
Thus, the protein powder you choose will affect the texture of the protein oatmeal.
Make sure not to heat the oatmeal too much when cooking/after adding the blueberries. You want a lot of liquid left to add in the protein powder.
Otherwise, it will turn into a sticky, thick mess versus creamy and smooth.
Fresh blueberries will work in place of frozen but you’ll want to add one tablespoon of water with them.
Oat milk, soy milk, and hemp milk all work in the recipe.
Likewise, the small “wild” blueberries work in place of the regular ones. Personally, we like the wild ones best because there’s more of them.
