Notes

Gluten-Free Oats. We tested this recipe with Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-Free Rolled Oats.
Protein powder. Mix in 2-3 servings of your favorite plain or vanilla protein powder. You will need up to 1/3 cup more milk. Start with 1/4 cup of milk and add more as needed. Our favorite protein powder is Be Well By Kelly because it’s made with grass-fed sweedish protein, monk fruit, and real flavors.
