Pistachio Cranberry Protein Oatmeal

I originally discovered this wonderful soul when I was looking for cottage cheese recipes (I wanted to find some way to eat it where I wouldn’t hate it). This particular recipe has nothing to do with cottage cheese, but hooray for new oatmeal recipes! This tasted kinda like the oatmeal version of thin mints! :]
