Tips

  • If you’re using a different protein powder, you may need to adjust the liquid. Start with 150ml milk and add gradually until you reach the consistency shown in the video.
  • Microwave for 1 minute to warm through or enjoy cold for more of an oat-bar vibe.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
