FAQs
Can I use water instead of milk?
Yes, you can use water, but using milk (dairy or plant-based) will make the porridge creamier and more flavorful.
What type of protein powder works best?
Any protein powder you like will work, but vanilla, chocolate, and berry flavors complement the oats and fruit nicely without overpowering the dish.
