Ingredients

1/4 cup grated zucchini (75g) undrained
1/3 cup quick oats (30g)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 packets Splenda or 1/2 tsp sweetener of choice
1 tsp vanilla or butter extract
1/2 cup water (120g)
1/4 cup egg whites (60g)
1/8 cup protein powder (15g)
1 tbsp unsweetened almond milk (15g) or milk of choice

Instructions

Add zucchini, oats, cinnamon, sweetener, extract, and water. Stir until everything is combined then microwave for one minute.
Take out and add the egg whites. Stir in well to prevent any clumps (I like to use a mini whisk for this), then microwave for another minute.
Take out, add the protein powder and almond milk and stir in. I like to stir until everything is just about mixed together but not 100%. It adds an extra level of creaminess!
Top with nut butter (if desired) and anything else that sounds good and enjoy!

Notes

To Prevent Clumps: If you don't stir in the egg whites well enough, they can create clumps in the oatmeal. I always use a mini whisk to stir the egg whites in (like this one), so I never have any problems with clumps. But occasionally I will have someone come to me saying they are clumpy. You just have to mix the egg whites in well and there won't be any!

To Make In Advance: just make like usual, add to a storage container and put in the fridge! You can eat cold or reheat in the microwave. You can also meal prep in bulk to easily grab during the week. They will last stored in the fridge for 5-7 days.
