Here is a great 5 minute meal that should ideally be consumed after a strength training, or anaerobic conditioning workout when the metabolism is elevated and nutrients can be used for repair.

INGREDIENTS

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup skim milk

Dash salt

Dash cinnamon

1/2 cup berries (fresh or frozen, your choice of berries)

Splenda or stevia, to taste

1 scoop vanilla protein

Combine oats, milk, salt and cinnamon in a large bowl.  Microwave for one minute, stir, then microwave for one additional minute.  Stir in berries and stevia or splenda.  Allow the oatmeal to cool slightly before the protein is added.  Very hot oatmeal can damage protein powder, causing it to lump and sour.  Once oatmeal is warm ( but not hot) add protein and mix completely.  Makes one serving.
