Red Berry Protein Power Oats

I'm quite excited to post today's breakfast recipe. It's a delicious power boost breakfast which will give you the kickstart you need for a long day ahead. Although a bit high in calories, I wanted something appropriate before a gym workout, high not only in protein and carbohydrates but low in fats too. 
Red Berry Protein Power Oats!


You Will Need: 

  • ½ - 1 Cup Oats
  • 1 - 2 Cups Almond Milk 
  • 10g Raspberries
  • 50g Strawberries
  • 40g Raspberry flavored Protein Powder
Ready, Set, Go! 
Method: 
  1. Heat the milk to a simmer and blend in your protein powder until dissolved
  2. Add in oats and allow to simmer whilst stirring until cooked 
  3. Add in your berries and blend in 
  4. Serve in your favorite bowl and add milk for added creaminess 
Measuring is Important! 

For a bit of crunch roasted almond slithers can do the trick.
