Ingredients
  

  • 40 g oats
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups Fairlife chocolate milk
  • 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 1 scoop collagen peptides optional
  • Creatine optional
  • 1/2 cup frozen raspberries
  • 100- calorie crushed cookies or granola
  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter

Instructions
 

  • Add the oats to a large microwave-safe bowl and pour enough Fairlife chocolate milk over the top to fully cover the oats while still leaving a little extra liquid for a creamy texture. The oats will absorb some of the milk as they cook, so starting with slightly more liquid helps prevent the oatmeal from becoming dry or overly thick later.
  • Place the bowl into the microwave and cook for about 2–3 minutes. Stop halfway through cooking to stir the oats if needed, especially if the mixture starts rising near the top of the bowl. The oats should look soft, creamy, and slightly loose when finished because they will continue thickening naturally as they sit.
  • Carefully remove the hot bowl from the microwave and stir the oatmeal thoroughly. If the oats look too thick or dry, add a small splash of extra chocolate milk and stir again until the texture becomes smooth and creamy. This helps create that rich, almost brownie-batter consistency.
  • Add the chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, collagen peptides, and creatine if using. Stir everything very well until completely combined and no dry powder remains. The oatmeal should turn thick, glossy, rich, and deeply chocolatey. Mixing the protein powder in after cooking helps prevent clumping and keeps the texture smooth instead of grainy.
  • Scatter the frozen raspberries over the warm oatmeal. The heat from the oats will soften them slightly while still keeping their bright fruity flavor and texture. As they warm up, some of the berry juices melt into the chocolate oats, creating little pockets of sweet-tart flavor throughout the bowl.
  • Sprinkle the crushed cookies or granola evenly across the top. This adds crunch and gives the oatmeal a dessert-like texture that contrasts perfectly with the creamy chocolate base. For extra texture, leave some larger cookie pieces instead of crushing everything too finely.
  • Drizzle the peanut butter over the oatmeal while it’s still warm so it melts slightly into the chocolate oats. The warm peanut butter adds richness, creaminess, and that classic chocolate-peanut butter flavor combination that makes the bowl feel extra comforting and indulgent.
  • Serve immediately while the oatmeal is still warm, creamy, and freshly topped. The texture is best right after preparation, when the oats are thick and rich, the peanut butter is slightly melted, and the raspberries are just beginning to soften into the chocolate mixture.
