MACRO-FRIENDLY RECIPE: COACH D’S HIGH-PROTEIN OATMEAL BOWL
Y’all, I LOVE oatmeal. It’s something I could eat for multiple meals a day because I love it that much. This week’s recipe is my go-to version of oatmeal and I love it because it’s protein-packed, sweet and nutritious. It’s something I can eat before or after a workout and sometimes I enjoy it at dinner when I don’t feel like having something savory or cooking (it was a life-saver when I was pregnant!) I hope you like it as much as I do!
COACH D’S HIGH-PROTEIN OATMEAL BOWL
PREP TIME: 5-10 minutes || COOK TIME: 3-4 minutes || MAKES: 1 serving
WHAT YOU NEED:
30g quick-cooking oats
16g powdered peanut butter
5g flax seed meal
½ C water
65g liquid egg whites
85g berries strawberries, raspberries, blueberries
16g peanut butter
65g unsweetened soy milk or preferred milk of choice
WHAT TO DO:
Add oats, powdered peanut butter and flax meal to a microwave safe bowl with water. Stir and let sit for 5-10 minutes (I’ve found that letting it soak for a bit just creates the perfect texture, so feel free to skip this step if you don’t have extra time!)
Microwave for 1:30 and then remove and stir. Add liquid egg whites, giving it a good stir again before microwaving for another 1:30. Remove from the microwave and stir vigorously for 15-20 seconds (all liquid should be absorbed at this point).
Top with berries, peanut butter and milk and enjoy!
GIVE IT A TRY:
Feel free to add your own favorite toppings if these don’t exactly fit your preferences. I also like to add some granola on the top for extra crunch on days when I have more calories to use up!
