3. Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Stir, then microwave for 1 more minute until thick and creamy.

4. Let the oatmeal stand for 1 minute to cool slightly; protein powder can turn grainy if added to boiling-hot oats.

5. Stir in the protein powder until smooth. Add a splash of milk if it gets too thick.
