• 3/4 cup oats
• 1 1/2 cups oat milk
• 1 heaped tablespoon peanut butter (or other nut butter)
• 1/2 tablespoon vanilla brown rice protein powder
• Pinch of cinnamon
• 1/2 banana

When you have all of the ingredients together, here’s how to make this healthy Protein Porridge:

1. Start by adding the oats and oat milk to a saucepan over a medium heat.




2. When the oat milk is hot add in all the other ingredients except the protein powder. Keep on stirring, and if it gets too hot lower the heat. (If you don’t like peanut butter, use almond or cashew!)




3. After a further 5 minutes stir in the protein powder. Stir until it’s absorbed into the porridge without any sitting on top.




4. After another 5 minutes your porridge should be ready! Pour into a bowl, top with the other half of the banana, some berries or even a further dollop of peanut butter (why not!?).




5. Enjoy!

I know there are hundreds of protein pancake recipes out there, but I highly recommend these! I hear people rave about fluffy pancakes, but there’s something nice about biting into something a bit more substantial. These have no added sugar or fat and are high in protein thanks to the addition of eggs and greek yogurt. No protein powder needed here!

Here are the ingredients you’ll need to make 3 delicious Banana Cream Protein Pancakes:

1 large banana, (the riper, the better)
3/4 c. greek yogurt
1 t. vanilla
2 eggs
1/4 c. plus a few extra splashes of dairy-free milk
8 drops liquid stevia
1/2 T. cinnamon
1/2 t. baking soda
1 1/4 c. rolled oats
a couple of dashes of salt
butter or coconut oil, for frying
