Easy, Healthy Protein Oatmeal: 3 Recipes to Try
Oats are a star grain — they contain high amounts of carbs and fiber, they’re gluten-free, have loads of vitamins and minerals, and can lower blood sugar and cholesterol levels. As a breakfast food, they can be made into bread, energy cookies, granola, pancakes, or the versatile classic, oatmeal. We wanted to elevate this classic into a protein superstar by gathering three protein oatmeal recipes to change up our breakfast routine.
