    I add protein powder sometimes (chocolate LOL) or I'll add egg whites some times too. They both are yummy!

    Sounds crazy but I love cottage cheese in oatmeal. Yum! Adds protein and creaminess.

    I frequently do that...can't taste the cottage cheese at all but it does give it a nice texture.
    I also add vanilla protein powder or PB2. When using protein powder, I find it comes out better if I mix the powder with water or almond milk first, then cook the oatmeal in that instead of water. I love oatmeal.

    I usually add protein powder to my oatmeal. I used to always add chocolate and some PB2 which was amazing then I ordered Cinnabon flavored protein powder and it is a win....tastes amazing!!!
    Who makes Cinnabon flavored protein powder? Would love to try that!

    Thanks for everyone's input. I've started weightlifting and need more protein for muscle recovery. I went to the health food store tonight to get flaxseed, but after talking with the staff and comparing, I actually got hemp powder.

    I already make it with milk, but I will give cottage cheese and egg whites a try. Never would have thought of that!
