- 💧½ cup water
- 🍓¼ cup berries (fresh or frozen)

Pro tips
- Ensure the oatmeal has cooled slightly before adding protein powder to prevent clumping and preserve nutrient integrity.
- Adjust the amount of liquid for your preferred oatmeal consistency; add more milk or water if you like it thinner.
- Experiment with different toppings like nuts, seeds, or a drizzle of honey for added flavor and texture.
Method
