Creamy Banana Oat Protein Skillet
This warm, creamy banana oat skillet is designed for GLP-1 users who need steady energy without overwhelming their stomach. It combines gentle carbs, protein, and key micronutrients in a small, easy-to-eat portion to help combat fatigue when overall intake is low.
Ingredients
- 60 g rolled oats — uncooked
- 40 g whey protein powder, vanilla — dry
- 80 g banana — thinly sliced
- 120 g greek yogurt, plain — room temperature
- 250 ml milk, semi-skimmed — cold
- 10 g chia seeds — whole optional
- 1 g ground cinnamon — ground optional
Instructions
- In a small non-stick skillet or saucepan, add the rolled oats and milk, stirring to combine before turning on the heat.
- Place the skillet over low-medium heat and cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the oats start to thicken and soften.
- Stir in the sliced banana and ground cinnamon (if using), then cook for another 2–3 minutes on low heat until the banana softens and the mixture is creamy.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and let it cool for 1–2 minutes so it is warm, not hot, which is gentler on a GLP-1–sensitive stomach.
- In a small bowl, whisk the whey protein powder with 2–3 tablespoons of the warm oat mixture or a splash of milk until smooth, then gently stir this slurry into the skillet until fully combined.
- Fold in the Greek yogurt and chia seeds (if using) until the texture is creamy and uniform, then divide into two small bowls and serve warm.
Tips for GLP-1 users
If your appetite is very low on GLP-1 medication, start with half a serving, eat slowly, and save the rest for later to avoid nausea while still getting steady protein and energy for fatigue.
