Just like everyone’s favorite lunchbox sandwich―but for breakfast. Protein powder is an easy addition to a pot of oats to beef up the numbers for that important macro. Peanut butter adds additional plant-based protein, creaminess, and nuttiness, while the jam-like raspberry sauce gives the meal a sweet-tart pop. For leftovers, heat a small amount of milk or water in a saucepan; stir in the oats and heat, stirring a couple of times, for 3 minutes.

Soaking slower-cooking steel-cut oats overnight in hot water is a time-saving hack for yielding porridge with a perfect chewy texture in mere moments.
- 1 1/4 cups steel-cut oats
- + pinch salt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond cashew, or oat milk
- 1 1/2 cup frozen raspberries
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 Tbsp chia seeds
- 1/2 cup plain or vanilla plant-based protein
- 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup chopped unsalted peanuts
- In medium saucepan, place oats, a pinch of salt, and 3 1/2 cups water. Bring to slight simmer, immediately turn off heat, and let oats soak overnight, covered. In the morning, stir milk into pot with oats and heat over medium-low for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- In separate small saucepan, heat raspberries, 2 Tbsp water, honey, and vanilla over medium heat for 5 minutes. Gently mash raspberries. Stir in chia seeds and let sit, covered, for 10 minutes.
- Into cooked oats, stir protein powder and peanut butter. Stir in raspberry mixture, then place in serving bowls and top with peanuts.
