Protein Oatmeal

I 100% stole this recipe from Larisa Reis, but it has become one of my all time favorite breakfast recipes. It is super SUPER easy and thus convenient when you need to eat fast. Personally I whip it up and then carry it around with me as I continue my morning routine; talk about two birds one stone! Anyhow, this is how the recipe goes:

• 1/2 cup of oatmeal
• 1/2-1 scoop of vanilla flavored protein powder
• 1/2-1 cup of water
• 1 tsp honey (optional)
• raisins (optional)

Start with a microwave safe bowl, mix oatmeal and protein powder together. Add desired amount of water; I generally use between 1/2 and 3/4 cup (the more water you add, the longer you'll have to cook it). As you add water, mix oatmeal and protein powder together so you don't end up with uncooked lumps. Place bowl in microwave and cook for about a minute. I like to wait for the mix to rise before I take it out. (CAUTION: The mixture will spill over the sides if you don't watch it diligently.) Remove from microwave and add the optional ingredients if so desired.

Let me know how you enjoy this! Larissa & I might be on our own in our appreciation of this dish.
