These “Proats” are so easy to make and contain a whopping 38g of protein! They are also full of healthy fats and will keep you full for HOURS. Perfect for after a workout or even just on days where you want to be sure to stay full throughout the morning.
There is nothing like a warming, filling bowl of goodness to get your day going. This bowl of proats (I feel so cool saying “proats” btw) is the perfect answer when you need something extra filling in the morning that is also bursting with flavor.
You can make this kind of oatmeal in a million different variations. This is just a combination of ingredients that I tend to usually have on hand and love to add to oatmeal.
Below is the protein breakdown for this bowl of Proats:
Oats-6 g in ½ cup
Soy Milk-8g in 1 cup
Protein Powder- 14g in 2tbs
Peanut Butter- 4g in 2tbs
Banana & Berries- 1.5g
Hemp seeds- 5g in 2tsp
TOTAL: 38g
Proats (Protein Oats)
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup oats (fine or rolled, whichever you prefer)
- 1 cup soy milk can sub other plant-based milk of your choice
- 2 tbs protein powder use your favorite, I like one that is vanilla flavored
- 2 tbs peanut butter
- 1/2 banana, sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh or frozen berries can sub other fruit of choice
- 2 tsp hemp seeds
Instructions
- In a large cup or medium-sized bowl, Mix the protein powder with the soy milk and stir well to combine. I like mixing it together with a protein shaker, but you could also make sure that it is completely mixed with a whisk.
- Cook the oats together with the protein milk: If you use a microwave, add the oats and milk that has the protein powder mixed in to a bowl. Heat through in the microwave. If using the stove, add to a small saucepan and heat through on medium heat while stirring until the oats reach a creamy oatmeal consistency.
- Add the oatmeal to a bowl (if you cooked it on the stove) and top with the berries, peanut butter, banana, and hemp seeds. Eat immediately and enjoy!
