Just a word of caution: The protein powder in this recipe is not for everyone and it’s a taste and texture I got used to with time. My advice is to start off with a small amount of protein powder and gradually add more as you get used to it. The flavour will differ dramatically based on the brand you use. Try something quite neutral. I use Sunwarrior Warrior Blend Natural. The other option is just to omit the protein powder all together. Also, feel free to add sweetener if the oats aren’t sweet enough for you. I did a rough calculation and my bowl has almost 25 grams of protein and it keeps me going all morning long!

Ingredients:
- 1 very large ripe banana
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 scoop protein powder of choice (I use Sunwarrior Warrior Blend Natural), optional
- 1/3 cup gluten-free rolled or quick oats
- 1 cup water (or almond milk)
- 1/3 cup almond milk (or more water in a pinch, but it won’t be as creamy)
- granola or fresh fruit, for topping
Directions:
- In a medium bowl, mash the banana until mostly smooth.
- Stir in chia seeds followed by the protein powder (if using) and oats. It will resemble a very thick paste.
- Whisk in the water/almond milk with a fork, until smooth and no clumps remain.
- Place in the fridge overnight or for at least 1-2 hours, until the oats are soft and the mixture is thick.
- Serve with a sprinkle of granola and fresh fruit, if desired.
This breakfast is the perfect healthy fuel for hiking trails, climbing mountains, and early morning sunrise adventures. I love knowing that I start off the day with a balanced breakfast just in case we end up having a late lunch.
