INGREDIENTS

0.5 cup rolled oats

1 cup water

0.25 cup liquid egg whites

0.5 cup nonfat Greek yogurt

0.75 scoop vanilla protein powder

0.5 cup fresh blueberries

1 tbsp slivered almonds

0.25 tsp ground cinnamon

0.25 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp maple syrup

PREPARATION

• 1

  Place the slivered almonds in a small dry skillet over medium heat and toast for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and fragrant, then set aside.

• 2

  In a small saucepan, combine the rolled oats and water; bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

• 3

  When the oats have absorbed most of the water but are still slightly liquid, slowly whisk in the liquid egg whites.

• 4

  Continue to stir the mixture constantly for 2 minutes as the egg whites cook, which will create a thick and voluminous texture.

• 5

  Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the vanilla protein powder, Greek yogurt, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract until the porridge is smooth and well combined.

• 6

  Gently fold in half of the fresh blueberries so they begin to soften from the residual heat.

• 7

  Transfer the protein porridge to a bowl and garnish with the remaining blueberries, the toasted almonds, and a drizzle of maple syrup.
