Homemade Instant Oatmeal Packets (Protein-Packed) are a budget-friendly, quick & easy way to have a healthy breakfast every morning. Only 5 ingredients and you’ll have protein oatmeal all week long.
Get ready to make your breakfasts super healthy and super quick! With adding Homemade Instant Oatmeal Packets (Protein Packed) to your meal prep on the weekends, you’ll have your weekday morning breakfasts all prepped and ready to go. In the morning it’ll only take 5 minutes to make your hot bowl of homemade oatmeal. Without the added ingredients in conventional instant oatmeal packets.
How to make them:
Grab one large mixing bowl, a measuring cup, a large spoon, and some snack-sized baggies. There are only 4 ingredients that go into these homemade protein-packed oatmeal packets. Keeping it time-efficient, budget-friendly, and so delicious. In the large mixing bowl add the gluten-free quick-cooking oats, hemp hearts, chia seeds, flax meal, and collagen peptides (if using). Stir together and then scoop out one cup of mixture for each snack-sized baggie.
In my baggies, I added one cup of mixture which will be 2 servings. Here at our house, I have 5 people that eat oatmeal (out of 6 total people that’s not too shabby!). So 2 baggies of instant oatmeal is the perfect amount to feed 5 (my youngest two have smaller portions so it evens out!). If you’ll be making these Homemade Instant Oatmeal Packets for just yourself or need a single-serve…just add ½ cup of mixture to each baggie and you’ll have 12 – one serving packets!
Here’s why I chose to add hemp heart, chia seeds, and flax meal to so many recipes. (Also found in 20 Minute Healthy Protein Granola and Grain-Free Nut and Seed Granola )
