How To Make Protein Oats - Protein Oatmeal Recipe
Have you heard of protein oats before? I never heard of them and came up with this random idea to add protein powder to my oatmeal for my backpacking breakfasts. (If you are interested check out my backpacking recipes here). I thought it was the best idea ever. Add calories, add protein, get a boost of energy in the morning. I mean it is a win, win win right?!!
Funny enough, I wasn’t the only one who thought about this. When I found out that it wasn’t a new idea, I was a little bummed to be honest. I thought I was being so creative and innovative lol.
Non the less, it is still a really good idea and has become a staple recipe in my home even when I am not out backpacking. It is great for when you want an easy healthy breakfast and if you are trying to add more protein into your diet.
Speaking of adding protein into your diet, if you are struggling with getting in enough protein and are tired of making a smoothie every day you are not alone. I struggle with this on a regular basis. That is why I made an article all about it. So make sure to check out: Protein powder recipes - how to eat more protein daily
