Warm, cozy, and softly spiced—this chai-inspired oatmeal feels like a slow morning wrapped in a bowl. It’s comforting without being heavy and gently sweetened, with just enough protein to keep you satisfied and steady for hours.
This is a beautiful option for cooler mornings, quiet breakfasts, or anytime you want something nourishing that feels a little special.
Ingredients:
• 3 chai spice tea bags
• 3 cups (24 oz) 1% milk
• 2 cups (200g) old-fashioned oats
• 2 scoops (43g) Simplified Nutrition Vanilla Protein
• 1/4 tsp (about 25 drops) liquid monk fruit sweetener
• 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Directions:
In a medium saucepan, bring the milk and chai spice tea bags to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat and let steep for 3–4 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds to prevent scorching.
Squeeze the liquid from the tea bags and discard them. Stir in the oats and cook until thick, about 5–7 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest for 3 minutes.
Whisk in the protein powder, monk fruit sweetener, and vanilla extract. Let rest another 3 minutes before serving. No extra milk is needed—the texture is creamy and perfectly ready to enjoy.
