Serves 
This creamy oatmeal tastes like everyone’s
favorite schoolyard sandwich, albeit one
with more lofty protein levels. Soaking
hearty steel-cut oats overnight slashes their
cooking time to make this breakfast more
conducive to harried mornings. Whole nuts
and coconut chips are a great way to add a
satisfying crunch.

­ cup steel-cut oatmeal
⅓ cup milk or unsweetened dairy-free milk
½ cup plain or vanilla protein powder
¼ cup natural peanut butter
­ tsp. cinnamon
¼ cup unsalted roasted peanuts (optional)
¼ cup coconut chips (optional)

and  Tbs. water. Place strawberry purée
in container or bowl and stir in chia
seeds. Set aside at least hour to thicken.

water in medium-sized saucepan. Bring
to a mild boil, immediately turn off heat,

powder, peanut butter, and cinnamon
into oats, and cook over medium-low
