DIY Protein Packed Oatmeal

EAT YOUR PROTEIN! If you are someone who wants to “tone” their body, nutrition and muscle building are everything. “But I don’t want to look bulky!” Says every girl who has never actually looked up the definition of the word TONED.

According to Oxford Languages: (adjective) - having firm, and well defined muscles

INGREDIENTS:

43g Old Fashioned Rolled Oats

46g Liquid Egg Whites

12g Powdered Peanut Butter

*Water (amount will vary depending on how much oats you use and desired consistency)

*Collagen (amount will be based on the product you choose) Unflavored (dual marine collagen) OR Flavored (grass fed, bovine collagen)

4oz Fruit

HOW TO PUT IT ALL TOGETHER:

Make the peanut butter in a separate container by adding water a tiny bit at a time until you reach your desired consistency. PRO TIP: try not to eat it all while your oats are cooking 😉

Next, pour the oats into a microwave safe bowl. Cover the oats with water and microwave for 1 minute. Remove the bowl from the microwave and give the oats a stir. Add the egg whites, stir again and microwave everything for another minute. Remove the bowl, stir, and microwave for an additional 30 seconds. (If you are including collagen you can either add it now OR with the oats at the very beginning *add more water if needed)

At this point you can dress up your Protein Oats anyway you like with fruit, hemp seeds, flax - WHATEVER floats your boat. Hope this helps you hit your protein goals in a simple and practical way that tastes delicious!

Super Fast Fit Friendly Oatmeal To-Go

I am a big foodie who understands the importance of healthy, yummy tasting food.  Unfortunately I spent years eating all the wrong things because of "Mouth Pleasure," thanks Joe Rogan, I can’t ever unhear that. LOL  I didn't care how the foods I was eating negatively impacted my well being, I just LOVED how the food tasted.  This lack of knowledge and self control led to years of illness, autoimmune diseases, and obesity.  Once I realized I didn't have to sacrifice my need for taste bud satisfaction my whole "fit food" world changed. I just had to get clever in the kitchen.  Now I take my favorite “naughty” foods and make them "fit friendly."  Give this quick and easy breakfast treat a try.  Play around with flavors and ratios depending on your goals and make it your own...Let me know how it turns out and if you have any helpful tips and tricks to make this recipe even better! 

ENJOY
