PB2 Oatmeal with Almond Milk is a quick heart healthy breakfast option. Made with powdered peanut butter and oats, this is a great recipe!
Happy Thursday! Today I have a quick and healthy breakfast recipe to share with you. This PB2 Oatmeal is packed full of nutritious ingredients and will keep you full for hours.
I don’t know about you but I just hate making breakfast. I’m not a morning person and I’m hungry when I get out of bed. I need something fast! This oatmeal fits all the requires for a fast and healthy breakfast. Plus, it’s a great pre-run meal. I am actually running a 5k this weekend so this will be my go to for fuel.
Oatmeal is heart healthy and it lowers cholesterol and contains antioxidants. It does contain fiber so watch out. I like adding the powdered PB2 in my oatmeal. It has the same great taste as peanut butter without all the fat and calories and it still has the protein. Also, I like using almond milk instead of regular milk. Almond milk also has antioxidants, calcium and vitamin E.
- Quick cook oats – 1/2 cup
- Almond milk – 1 cup
- PB2 – 2 tbs
- Cinnamon
- Banana
- I make my oatmeal in the microwave according to the direction on the box of oats:
- Combine milk, oats and PB2 in a medium microwave- safe bowl
- Microwave on high 1-1/2 to 2 minutes
- Stir and add sliced banana and sprinkle with cinnamon
Have you ever tried PB2? Do you like it?

Hello!
May I know how much are your measurements of half cup of oatmeal?
Roughly how many tablespoons would it be? 🙂
Thanks a bunch!
Hello Bernice! I had to google it but there are 8 tablespoons in half a cup. Hope this helps! Thanks for stopping by.
do you cook the oats first with water and then combine them with the milk and pb2 and microwave for a second time or do you mix the milk and pb2 with the raw oats and microwave once?
I make the oatmeal as directed on the package, using almond milk. Then add the PB2. Enjoy!
I saw your chocolate PB2 oatmeal recipe first but I didn’t have any PB2 with premium chocolate. So I used this recipe but used chocolate almond milk instead. I didn’t add cinnamon though. I feel like I’m eating a no-bake cookie for breakfast! This is wonderful!!! I’ve found my new breakfast 🙂 Thanks!
I’m glad you like my PB2 Oatmeal! I never thought of using chocolate almond milk. Thanks for sharing!!!
