Whether you’re a professional athlete or just beginning your exercise journey, breakfast is a great way to set you up for whatever your training has to throw at you. There is a reason it’s called ‘the most important meal of the day’.
To help you build out your morning menu we’ve created a high-protein oatmeal recipe. A warming and versatile option, it could help you hit a personal best both in the kitchen and the gym.
Is Oatmeal High in Protein?
Oatmeal is relatively high in protein, with around 5.3 grams per cup.
It is also rich in carbohydrates and fiber making it a good option if you are looking for a breakfast that could help to fuel your body and support your workouts.
How to Add Protein to Oatmeal
Incredibly versatile, it's very easy to add extra protein to your oatmeal.
A dollop of nut butter, such as peanut or almond, could help to boost the nutritional value.
Likewise, blueberries, pistachios and chocolate chips are tasty topping options. We like to think of oatmeal as the cold weather equivalent of fro-yo!
While toppings are a fun way to personalize your meal, one of the most effective ways to increase your intake is protein powder.
Containing 20g per serving, Klean Isolate can easily be mixed into oatmeal for a supercharged breakfast. With three delicious flavors to choose from, customizing your meal plan and hitting your intake goals just got a whole lot easier.
