What you need
- 1/4 cup raw sunflower seeds
- 2 tbsp golden flax seeds
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 2 scoops your favorite protein powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries

How to make it
- Quickly pulse the sunflower and flax seeds in a blender or clean coffee grinder until they are coarse crumbs.
- Move the seed crumbs to a small pot. Add oats, protein powder, and cinnamon, then stir everything together.
- Pour in the almond milk and one cup of water. Heat over medium‑high, stirring often, until the mix starts to boil.
- Turn the heat down low and keep stirring until the porridge thickens, about five minutes. Add a little more water if you like it thinner.
- Split the hot porridge into two bowls. Top each bowl with blueberries and a drizzle of maple syrup.
