Gabriela's tips
Small changes that make this recipe easier to fit into real life.
Protect the protein
Take hot oats off the heat before stirring in protein powder so it blends smoothly instead of turning grainy.
Prepare the toppings
Portion fruit, nuts or seeds separately so the finished bowl keeps its contrast and crunch.
