Inspired by the beloved Nested Oats, this version swaps oats for quinoa, giving you a hearty, slightly nutty base that rests in a succulent liquid nest—a protein-powered mixture designed to support your clean lean body mass (CLBM) while keeping you satisfied and energized.

What truly makes this dish shine is the Cinnamon-Sweet Sprinkling, which elevates the flavors to perfection. It’s a warm, lightly sweet, and comforting combination that pairs beautifully with the creamy protein nest and fluffy quinoa. Whether you enjoy it as a standalone meal or customize it with your favorite toppings, this recipe ensures you get optimal protein intake in a deliciously simple way.

For our Protein Nerds, rest assured—this meal delivers a full 3-gram leucine bolus along with other essential amino acids to protect and build clean lean body mass. You can also modify the protein sources based on preference while maintaining the right balance for your goals.

Now, let’s get ready to build your perfect protein nest and start the day feeling strong, satisfied, and fueled for whatever lies ahead!

Note

Protein Nerd Notes

  • You are all set with a full 3-gram leucine bolus plus plenty of other essential amino acids in this recipe to protect and boost your lean body mass.
  • If preferred, you can use another protein powder in the same nested fashion but do aim for a 2–3-gram leucine bolus if you can.
  • An alternative is to use just 1½ Tbs of TH Optimized Plant Protein in the nest if you desire a less hempy flavor and use a full serving of TH Optimized Collagen in your coffee for your Protein Nerd Level 3 sufficiency.
