Step-by-Step Instructions

In a medium saucepan, combine rolled oats and almond milk. Place over medium heat, stirring occasionally, and bring to a gentle simmer for about 3-5 minutes.
Continue to stir as the oats simmer for about 5-7 minutes until they absorb most of the almond milk and thicken, then remove from heat.
Whisk in the whey protein powder off the heat until fully incorporated.
Gently fold in the cottage cheese until smooth and creamy.
Stir in your favorite nut butter and adjust consistency with almond milk if too thick.
Dish up in bowls while warm, and top with fresh fruits or extra nut butter.
