How to Meal Prep a Week of Healthy, Low-Sugar, High-Protein Instant Oatmeal "Packets"
From Jenny Sugar
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups of instant oatmeal (I used Trader Joe's Organic Multigrain Hot Cereal)
1 1/4 servings protein powder (or more if you want it; I used Vega Protein Made Simple)
2 1/2 teaspoons chia seeds
2 1/2 teaspoons ground flaxseed meal
2 1/2 teaspoons hemp seeds
1 1/4 teaspoons cinnamon
5 containers
Directions
- Divide all the ingredients between the five containers. Each container will have: 1/2 cup oats, 1/4 serving protein powder, 1/2 teaspoon chia seeds, 1/2 teaspoon ground flaxseed meal, 1/2 teaspoon hemp seeds, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon.
- Secure the lids and store for later.
- When you're ready to eat, pour the contents into a larger bowl, add water or the milk of your choice, and microwave according to the package directions for the oats. Trader Joe's Organic Multigrain Hot Cereal, for example, takes longer to cook than quick oats (about three minutes.)
- Top with fresh fruit, dried fruit, nuts, nut butter, or yogurt, and enjoy!
