Pro Tips

  • Always let oats cool slightly before adding protein powder to prevent clumping
  • Dice apples small so they cook faster and soften nicely
  • Too thick? Add more liquid. Too thin? Let simmer a bit longer
  • Microwave method: Cook oats & apples 2-3 min, cool, then add protein

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! Use the same amount. Quick oats cook faster, so reduce cooking time to 1-2 minutes.

Always stir in protein powder AFTER cooking. Heat can denature protein and create a chalky texture.

Yes, dice apples and soak in lemon water (prevents browning). Store in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Honeycrisp or Gala for sweetness, Granny Smith for tartness. Any crisp apple works well!
