HIGH-PROTEIN APPLE CRUMBLE OATS | WINTER BREAKFAST RECIPE

When winter hits, I swear my entire personality switches from “smoothie girl” to, give me something warm because I am freezing!. November weather is absolutely not the time for a cold protein shake. I’m sorry, but the way that cup hits your hand when it’s 4°C outside? No, thank you.

We can still enjoy really yummy food and hit those protein goals without forcing ourselves to drink something icy. Enter: Apple Crumble Protein Oats. Warm, sweet, cosy, festive… basically tastes like Christmas morning but somehow still healthy, you can thank me later :)

And yes, we are keeping the protein up thanks to the Naked Nutrition Vanilla Protein Powder, which blends in so nicely that it basically turns your oats into dessert.

This is one of those breakfasts that feels indulgent but also makes you feel like you’ve got your life together.

Ingredients for 1 serving

Oats

• 40g oats

• 1 cup milk or water if you are saving calories

• 1 scoop Naked Nutrition Vanilla Protein Powder

• 1 tsp cinnamon

• Pinch of nutmeg

• Pinch of salt

• 1 apple, chopped

  
  

Crumble topping 

• 1–2 tbsp granola

• Little fry light 

• Extra cinnamon

• 1/2 teaspoon of brown sugar 

  
  

How to Make It

1. 
   

   Add oats, milk, apple, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt into a pan. Let it simmer until thick for about 5 minutes or you can pop it in the microwave, I’ve done both ;) . At this point, your kitchen will smell unreal.

2. 
   

   Let it sit for a second, then stir in your Naked Nutrition Vanilla Protein Powder. This keeps it creamy and stops any weird clumps.

3. 
   

   Toast your granola in a little butter, coconut oil, or I use Frylight, with a bit of cinnamon and the brown sugar. Takes around a minute, and this will make it taste like actual crumble topping.

4. 
   

   Add your topping to your oats. Done. Happiness unlocked.

   
   

   Trust me, once you make these apple crumble protein oats, they will be your go-to winter comfort bowl and I love adding Naked Nutrition’s Vanilla Protein Powder to them because it keeps me fuller for longer, is pure and clean, and doesn’t have any of the added junk you find in other brands, which is exactly why I love it so much!.

   
   

WHAT I'M READING | THE TRAPPED WIFE | SAMANTHA HAYES

Can you love a book and hate it at the same time?. This book is like no other. I have read quite a few now from Samantha Hayes, and she is definitely up there with one of my favourite authors, but some of this just didn't make sense to me.

PROPERTY INVESTMENT MADE EASY | HOW TO INVEST WISELY

Investment does get a little complicated with the rising and falling markets, varying interest rates, and all the hot-spot talk. But the basics of a good investment strategy actually begin with what you can afford and sustain. This begins with clarity on what someone wants out of his or her life and what locations he or she prefers; there is the big-picture long-term view of how it will work in his or her own life. 

VINTAGE LIGHTING TOUCHES THAT ADD INSTANT CHARACTER TO ANY ROOM

 It’s often the little details that bring a space to life – a well-placed cushion, a framed print, or the perfect shade of paint. But there’s one design element that quietly shapes the entire mood of a room, and it’s all too easy to overlook: lighting.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT FABRIC TO REFRESH YOUR SPACE

 Home updates don’t always need a full makeover or a big budget. In fact, some of the most satisfying changes come from small tweaks that breathe new life into everyday spaces. If you’ve ever looked at a tired chair, a faded cushion, or a dated headboard and thought, “I wish I could just give that a quick refresh,” the good news is – you absolutely can.

TRANSFORMING OUTDOOR SPACES WITH SIMPLE STRUCTURES

 When the sun comes out, the garden quickly becomes the most-used “room” of the house. Whether it’s family barbecues, messy outdoor play, or just sitting down with a cuppa while the kids run around, having a space that works for everyone makes a huge difference. And with just a few thoughtful additions, even the most basic outdoor space can feel like a personal retreat.

EXPLORING EMOTIONAL CONNECTION THROUGH INTUITIVE GUIDANCE

 There are moments in life when logic alone doesn’t feel like enough. Times when we’re faced with questions that don’t have neat answers, or when we’re navigating feelings that sit quietly beneath the surface. In those moments, it’s natural to seek something softer, something that helps us feel seen, heard, and gently supported.
