My Hack to Making ANY Oatmeal High Protein

My goal during this past weight loss cycle was to hit 150 g of protein/day. And even though I’ll never get sick of scrambled eggs for breakfast, I snuck in extra protein everywhere I could, including adding egg whites to oatmeal.

✅If you haven’t done this before, this is my method:

Mix
🟢1/3 cup oats with
🟢2/3 cup water

Cook in microwave for 60 seconds. Stir and cook 30 seconds longer.

Then stir in
🟣1/2 cup liquid egg whites

Return to microwave and cook for 30 seconds longer.

After that, I flavor it! It is the best base for a hearty oatmeal breakfast I have found!

Hearty and Healthy Ingredients in This Birthday Cake Protein Oatmeal

1. Oats – Did you know that oats are packed with fiber? They are also great for supporting weight loss because they keep you full for longer than many other carb options!
2. Water – Some people use milk to make their oatmeal but I don’t think it changes the flavor enough to be worth the extra calories! I think water works just as good!
3. Egg Whites – This is the key ingredient for making this a protein packed recipe! One cup of egg whites has 26 grams of protein!
4. Almond Extract – I love this flavor! To me it makes it taste like an almond based cake!
5. Sprinkles – You can use any sprinkles you want! I used the rainbow sprinkles because they are what I have on hand but I also think they are the most birthday-esque!
6. Whipped Cream – I always go for sugar free! It tastes just as good and for a fraction of the calories! This add the creaminess and is kind of like the frosting on the cake!
