Ingredients
- ½ cup old-fashioned or quick oats
- 3 egg whites, lightly beaten

- ¼ cup water or milk of choice
- 1-2 teaspoons sweetener, optional, such as honey, maple syrup, monk fruit, or stevia
Instructions
- In a deep microwave-safe bowl, add the oats, lightly beaten egg whites, mixed berries, and water or milk. Stir well to break up any frozen berry clusters, ensuring everything is evenly mixed.

Notes
• If you'd like to boost the protein even more, add a scoop of your favorite protein powder.
• If you’re following a gluten-free diet, be sure to carefully read the packaging for each ingredient, especially the oats (look for brands that are certified gluten-free). While these foods are inherently gluten-free, gluten can sometimes be added during processing for a variety of reasons, including for flavor and consistency.
• Similarly, if you're dairy-free and/or nut-free, choose water or milk that’s free of dairy and nuts.
