Power Your Day With Protein Porridge
Save yourself time in the morning with this simple & satisfying breakfast recipe.
It’s generally accepted that mornings can be a bit rough.
If you’re racing around trying to get everything done, they can seem so much worse.
This protein packed porridge recipe will get your day started the right way.
This is more of a formula than a recipe, because there’s no “right way” to do it! Instead you start with a basic protein powder & oats combo, then mix and match healthy fats, some carbs, and your favourite flavours to get a healthy tasty brekkie that’s as unique as you are!
Protein Porridge Formula
Protein Porridge: Base
- ½ C oats
- ¾–1 C water
- 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla is great but anything you have on hand will work)
- Pinch of salt
Mix the water and protein powder until combined (no lumps!) then mix it with the oats & a wee pinch of salt.
Pop the mixture in the microwave for 45 seconds, stir, and return for 20 seconds. If it’s still not to your desired consistency, return for 20 seconds at a time until it’s perfect.
Then, choose a healthy fat, something sweet, and a fave flavour from the lists below (or something we’ve missed!), mix it all together and enjoy!
