Name: DIY Grab-and-Go Protein Oatmeal Cups.
Prep time: 3 min
Cook time: 2 min
Total time: 5 min
Yield: 1 serving
Ingredients: 1/2 cup quick-cooking oats; 1 scoop (10 g) collagen peptides (optional, but why not, man); 2 tsp. brown sugar; 1/8 tsp. cinnamon; scant 1/8 tsp. kosher salt (I think oatmeal needs a lot of salt and this is what I use, but you can play with this quantity!); Optional: dried fruit, flaxseed, chia seeds, nuts, etc.

Description

These recipe quantities are for a single serving oatmeal cup. I like to line up containers and make a bunch at once, assembly-line style!

Ingredients

1/2 cup quick-cooking oats

1 scoop (10 g) collagen peptides (optional, but why not, man)

2 tsp. brown sugar

1/8 tsp. cinnamon

scant 1/8 tsp. kosher salt (I think oatmeal needs a lot of salt and this is what I use, but you can play with this quantity!)

Optional: dried fruit, flaxseed, chia seeds, nuts, etc.

Instructions

Mix all ingredients in a heat-safe cup (disposable or reusable). When ready to use, add 4-5 oz. of hot water, stir, and let stand 1-2 minutes. Alternatively, you can add cold water and microwave for 1-1.5 minutes until desired temperature and consistency is reached.
