Ingredients

Metric - US Customary
  • 30 grams (⅓ cup) rolled oats
  • ½ to 1 tbsp calorie-free sweetener to taste
  • a pinch of salt
  • 120 ml (½ cup) almond milk unsweetened, or water
  • fresh fruit for topping

High Protein Option

  • 15 grams (3 tbsp) protein powder

Instructions

Microwave Cooking Method

  • In a microwaveable bowl combine oats, calorie-free sweetener and pinch salt. Pour in unsweetened almond milk or water and, with a fork or spoon, quickly mix the oats.
  • Microwave on high for 90 seconds to 2 minutes. Stop, stir and restart the microwave if the oats flood while cooking. Serve with your fruit of choice

Stovetop Cooking Method

  • In a pot, combine rolled oats, calorie-free sweetener and pinch salt. Pour in unsweetened almond milk or water and turn on heat.
  • Simmer over medium heat for around 5 minutes, or until the oatmeal reaches the desired texture. Make sure you stir frequently so that your oats do not stick to the pan.
  • Transfer low calorie oatmeal to a breakfast bowl and top with your favorite fruit.

High Protein Oatmeal

  • In a small bowl dissolve protein powder in little water or milk (around ½ tbsp) and whisk until the protein mixture is smoothly combined. Stir protein mixture into your cooked oats before topping with fruit.
