Having been diagnosed with achilles tendonitis (and a gout flare up on top, ouch) the doctor told me to never go barefoot again, but instead always wear shoes with good heel cushioning.

Overnight oats - tofu or protein powder for protein boost?
I wanted to add some protein to my overnight oats, so was thinking of tofu (tofu noob here). But since probably only silken tofu is suitable for that, which is relatively low on protein, are there any advantages to tofu over just adding some protein powder? Price pr gram of protein is about the same.
