Protein Oatmeal Bowl
Start your day strong with this nourishing bowl of goodness! Packed with protein and fiber, it fuels your body and keeps you feeling energized for hours.
Ingredients
- ½ cup old-fashioned or quick oats
- 3 egg whites, lightly beaten
- 1 cup frozen or fresh mixed berries, such as blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries
- ¼ cup water or milk of choice
- 1-2 teaspoons sweetener, optional, such as honey, maple syrup, monk fruit, or stevia
Instructions
- In a deep microwave-safe bowl, add the oats, lightly beaten egg whites, mixed berries, and water or milk. Stir well to break up any frozen berry clusters, ensuring everything is evenly mixed.
- Place a paper towel over the bowl to prevent splatters. Microwave on high for 3 minutes.
- After microwaving, stir the mixture to combine any bits of cooked egg whites and melted berries. If desired, add 1 to 2 teaspoons of sweetener to taste.
Notes
• If you'd like to boost the protein even more, add a scoop of your favorite protein powder.
• If you’re following a gluten-free diet, be sure to carefully read the packaging for each ingredient, especially the oats (look for brands that are certified gluten-free). While these foods are inherently gluten-free, gluten can sometimes be added during processing for a variety of reasons, including for flavor and consistency.
• Similarly, if you're dairy-free and/or nut-free, choose water or milk that’s free of dairy and nuts.
