How to Make Protein Powder Oatmeal

To make it, get started by blending together two cups of spinach with one banana, one teaspoon of matcha powder and two cups of unsweetened almond milk. Pour the mixture into a pot over medium heat, then add in one cup of dry rolled oats. Cook the lean, green oatmeal until the oats are soft, making sure to stir frequently.

About two minutes before the oats are done cooking, stir in two scoops of vanilla protein powder. We love Vanilla Nutrisystem Shake Mix! Finally, divide the finished oatmeal among two bowls and top each bowl with sliced bananas, fresh raspberries, hemp seeds and walnuts.
