đ« What Makes This Recipe So Good
Whatâs better than warm, cozy bowl of oatmeal in the morning? Oh, I donât know⊠MaybeâŠ. A warm, cozy bowl of oatmeal thatâs PACKED with protein to keep you full and satisfied âtil lunchtime rolls around?! Thatâs what you get with this protein oatmeal recipe. Actually, thatâs what you get with these THREE protein oatmeal recipes, because we love an easy and versatile dish. Who doesnât?! Each of these recipes is SO simple, using only one saucepan and only 4-6 ingredients, depending on the flavor you choose. PLUS, youâll have a delicious breakfast ready to eat in less than half an hour. If you want, you can even make your protein oatmeal a side in a larger breakfast spread, serving it next to a plate of scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, and fresh fruit. Youâll definitely be ready to take on the day after that! High-protein breakfasts are a great way to start the day, especially if youâre someone who likes to exercise in the morning. Protein helps maintain and repair muscles, plus it just helps you feel satiated for longer. Depending on your needs and activity levels, though, it can be hard to get enough protein into your day. Thatâs another thing I really love about this protein oatmeal â you donât feel like youâre eating a ton of protein right when you wake up. Just a thick, creamy bowl of oatmeal.
đ©đŒâđł Chefâs Tips
If high protein is your goal, pay attention to the protein powder you pick for your oatmeal. All of the options might be a little overwhelming if youâre new to the world of protein powders, and finding that perfect blend of nutrients + texture + taste can take a bit of trial and error. The amount of protein in a serving (and the size of a serving!) varies from one brand to another, and even from one flavor to another within the same brand. Depending on the powder, your protein oatmeal could have anywhere from 15g to 35g of protein per bowl. Keep a close eye on the oats while theyâre cooking. Youâll need to stir them frequently, if not constantly, to keep them from sticking and burning â especially toward the end when theyâve absorbed a good bit of liquid. If you walk off and leave them, donât be surprised if you come back to a block of burnt oats. For creamier oats with a little extra protein and fat, use milk instead of water. Any kind of milk will work â whole, 2% â or you can use an alternative milk like almond or oat. Iâd recommend using an unsweetened alternative milk, especially if your protein powder has any sweetener in it.
