Chocolate Protein Powder Oatmeal Recipe
One breakfast I’ve been loving is Double Chocolate Protein Powder Oatmeal. With this Chocolate Protein Oatmeal I get what I need: protein to keep energy up and chocolate. Because who doesn’t want chocolate in the morning? I look forward to waking up now!
Here’s a quick recipe video I made to show you how easy it is to make!
Ingredients
For my Chocolate Protein Powder Oatmeal you need one scoop of protein powder (I use Vega Essentials powder) and a few basic ingredients that I know you have in your pantry. Unlike other chocolate oatmeal recipes you don’t need cocoa powder because the protein powder adds enough chocolate taste.
I prefer using unsweetened vanilla almond milk because I love the taste, but you can use dairy, or even oat milk.
How to Make Chocolate Protein Oatmeal
This protein oatmeal is extremely easy to make, there’s really only 3 steps.
MIX. Combine milk (dairy or plant based), protein powder, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon in a saucepan over medium high heat, whisking for about 3 minutes.
BOIL. Add in the rolled oats and continue to cook for about 3-4 more minutes or until they reach a light boil.
SERVE. Pour oatmeal in a bowl and then add in a handful of chocolate chips. Serve and enjoy!

whey protein powder turned into gross chunks while whisking…….. what happened?
Sarah says
Interesting taste, I added a spoon full of peanut butter. Ate each bite with strawberries to get the protein powder down. Most likely will try another recipe but this was a good one time make!
Zoë Dawe says
This was so easy to make, and so delicious!
Steph says
That scoop looks much smaller than a regular “scoop” of protein. Is that a tablespoon scoop of the protein?
Jan Lynn says
So yummy! I added walnuts to mine! Will be making this often!
Ronnie says
This recipe was really tasty when I topped it off with a tsp biscoff butter spread.
Trina says
Do you use Whey or a Casein /Whey blend?
Rae says
I love the idea of this! I think there could be some variation depending on the protein powder because mine ended up with chalky texture. Do you have any advice on how to trouble shoot this? Would really love to give this another go!
Pamela says
Hey Rae, I think it really depends on the protein powder as some need a bit more work to mix it all together. Try adding a little bit more additional milk (I love unsweetened vanilla almond milk) and make sure you’re stirring the powder until it’s completely combined. Hope this helps!
