Step-by-Step Beginner-Friendly Instructions

Warm the base: Add oats, milk, vanilla, and a pinch of salt to a small saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

Stir until creamy: Cook 3–4 minutes, stirring often, until the oats thicken and become creamy.

Mix protein separately: In a small bowl, whisk protein powder with 2–3 tbsp warm water until smooth (prevents clumps!).
