Berry Protein Power Oats
Berry Protein Power Oats
Why this is peri-perfect… These berry protein oats deliver the golden trio of protein, fibre, and antioxidants that midlife bodies thrive on. The oats and chia support steady energy and gut health, while the protein powder helps protect muscle and balance hormones during perimenopause. Mixed berries bring a burst of natural sweetness along with polyphenols that calm inflammation and support brain health. Almond milk keeps things light and dairy-free, while still creating a creamy base that feels nourishing and satisfying. It’s quick, filling, and exactly the kind of smart, hormone-friendly fuel that sets you up for a steady day or helps you recover strong after a workout.

Rolled oats – ⅓ cup (30g)
180ml Unsweetened almond milk (¾ cup)

½ tsp choa seeds
Vanilla or cinnamon – a pinch
Optional: A few drops of stevia or monk fruit sweetener if your protein isn’t sweetened
Instructions:
In a small pot or microwave-safe bowl, combine oats, almond milk, and chia seeds.
Cook on stovetop (5 mins) or microwave (2 mins, stir halfway) until oats are soft and creamy.
Stir in protein powder while it’s still hot (add a splash more milk if it gets too thick).
Add berries and mix through. Let sit for a minute so they warm up.
