Easy High-Protein Coffee Oats

My husband loves High-Protein Coffee Oats, and he enjoys them so much that he jokingly calls the dessert “concrete because it is rich in protein ” because it is usually very thick and filling.

But this version is not quite as thick as that famous dessert, and it is still wonderfully creamy and delicious, so it feels just as satisfying to eat.

And when my husband tried it, he gave it two thumbs up, which means it definitely passed the taste test in our house.
