- Then add oats, protein powder, chia and cinnamon and mix everything well.
- Finally stir in the cherries.

Notes
*I recommend using a plant-based protein powder that is organic, without sugar and artificial sweeteners like sucralose and has approx. 69% protein content. If you use a natural protein powder without flavoring, I recommend adding a little vanilla, for example as vanilla extract or powder. Depending on which protein powder you use, the protein content per serving can vary.
