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 1/2 tbsp) and whisk until the protein mixture is smoothly combined. Stir protein mixture into your cooked oats before topping with fruit.

Nutritional values are provided for the basic low calorie oatmeal recipe without toppings and without the addition of protein powder.
