Notes

Good quality protein powder: Choose one without added sugars. If using a vegan protein blend, ensure it tastes as neutral as possible. This is because hemp and pea protein have distinct tastes and can take over the flavor entirely.
Gluten-free: Use certified gluten-free oats and ensure the toppings and add-ins are gluten-free too.
Vegan/dairy-free: Use 100% plant-based milk and yogurt for a dairy-free version.
Flavor Ideas:
- Berry: Add some fresh berries and a blueberry yogurt.
- Vanilla: Vanilla protein powder + vanilla yogurt.
- Chocolate: cocoa powder, chocolate protein powder, and chocolate chips. So good!
- Pumpkin spice: Sprinkle some ground cinnamon and toasted pumpkin seeds.
- Nut or seed butter: Top with a spoonful of Roasted Almond Butter, peanut and cashew butter for extra luxury.
- Tropical: use light coconut milk instead of regular milk (you’ll need a bit more, around 1 cup), coconut yogurt, and top with coconut flakes and some tropical fruits like mango and pineapple.
