Protein in porridge/oatmeal

Spitspot81

I have a serious porridge/oatmeal addiction...I could seriously eat it for my 3 meals per day. I often add protein powder to it in order to hit my macros and keep my protein intake on track.

I would be interested to hear how others consume their porridge with sufficient protein....what do you add to yours to keep your protein goals on track?

I add a mixture of flax seeds, nuts, PB2 and/or protein powder

I add about 40 grams liquid eggwhites and also protein powder to my oatmeal!

Protein powder, whatever flavor sounds best that day, and frozen berries.

Nuts, seeds, peanut butter, sometimes even soft tofu if I have it on hand. I also usually top oatmeal with a dairy protein (Greek yogurt or, preferably, cottage cheese). Usually winds up being ridiculously high in protein.

I used to frequently add protein powder, but now I'm trying to move towards getting my protein from less processed sources.

I make porridge with milk and water, add butter, and lean on other foods for protein.

Greek yogurt, PB2, whey protein isolate, milk.

I have 2 or 3 hard boiled eggs with it or some cheese or peanut butter, also a banana and 2% milk on it.

For example I just had 1.5 cups (dry) oatmeal, 2 bananas, 1/2 cup milk and two hard boiled eggs for my 2nd meal of the day.

I blend the oats with egg whites and protein powder (plus other stuff, then make pancakes. I don't like porridge

Eggs are great with oatmeal. My mom also eats hers with bacon/sausage.

You can also consider making savory oats. Adding things like spinach/broccoli, tomato, feta/cheddar, chicken/steak.

1/2 scoop vanilla protein, cinnamon, dash of almond milk, 1 tsp brown sugar = cinnamon roll oats!

Egg whites! Nuke, then chill overnight. In the morning I add protein powder and pb powder. Yum!

I like savory oats, mixed with a runny egg or two (cooked sunny side up) and vegetables.

Berries plus protein powder plus oats works too, and I get it as a comfort food (it's what I crave when sick). Powdered peanut butter adds some protein also.
