Quick Peanut Butter & Jelly Oatmeal Recipe

Preparation time: 15 minutes

Servings: 1

Ingredients:

• 190ml (6.5 fl oz) low-fat milk

• 60g (2 oz) rolled oats

• 40g (1.5 oz) frozen raspberries

• 1 scoop protein powder (optional)

• 60g (2 oz) strawberries

• 1tsp peanut butter

• 10g (⅓ oz) pistachio nuts

• 1tsp flaked almonds

Method:

1. In a small saucepan, bring the milk and 125ml (4 ¼ fl oz) water to the boil over high heat. Add the oats and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer for 5 minutes or until thickened, stirring frequently.

2. Add the frozen raspberries and protein powder, if using, and cook for a further 4-5 minutes or until the fruit has broken down and cooked through. If the mixture is too thick, add 1 tbsp water at a time until the desired consistency is reached.

3. To serve, pour the cooked oats into a serving bowl and top with the strawberries, peanut butter, pistachios and flaked almonds. Enjoy!

Don’t forget to include the foods you love in your diet

A healthy diet doesn’t need to be extreme or overly-restrictive.

You’re far more likely to sustain wholesome food choices in the long-term if you include healthy versions of dishes you enjoy — which means the occasional treat is on the menu!
