We're all about that Oatmeal porridge here at Supreme Nutrition. If you'd like to understand why that is you can read more about the benefits of porridge here.
Today we're combining our two favourites. Oatmeal Porridge and our most popular flavoured protein: Salted Caramel.
There's a couple of ways to prepare your oats as detailed below. Frankly, whatever works for you is what is best, its not worth worrying too much about whether a Microwave is worse than a Stove if it means you'll be eating your oats everyday!
Stove
1 Serving
- 80g oats
- 1 Cup water or milk
- Dash of salt (optional; for low sodium diets, omit salt)
Directions:
- Boil water or milk and salt.
- Stir in oats.
- Cook about 5 minutes over medium heat; stir occasionally.
Microwave
1 Serving
- 80g of oats
- 1 cup water or milk
- Dash of salt (optional; for low sodium diets, omit salt)
Directions:
- Combine water or milk, salt and oats in a medium microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave on HIGH 2 1/2 to 3 minutes; stir before serving.
Next is where it gets more exciting we recommend:
Protein
So in order to ramp up the flavour of your oats, this is where it gets interesting. We recommend 1 x Scoop of our Whey Concentrate Salted Caramel – remember you can change the flavours to keep it interesting but our Salted Caramel flavour is a real game changer for your morning routine.
Note: Add your protein powder at the end – this will make it creamy and blend well, if you add before the oats are cooked then it’ll make for some very lumpy oatmeal. Our protein blends are also very smooth so you should find that you can add more protein than usual without it affecting the texture.
Additional Ingredients
Fruit
Hit the Fruits! Go for nutrient rich berries such as: strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries. Our Salted Caramel also tastes amazing with Banana and this is a great way to ramp up the carbohydrates before a long day.
Nuts
Finally, add some nuts They're a great way to improve nutritional value with both proteins and healthy fats. They also make things interesting by adding a bit of texture. Go for: almond butter, pecans, walnuts, almonds - all great in oatmeal and serve to enhance the flavour and the nutritional value.
We've told you enough times but with Oats, a healthy, nutrient rich breakfast couldn’t be easier. Cook your oats and away you go – packed with nutritional value you’re looking at: 51 grams of carbs, 25 grams of protein, 7 grams of fat and 8 grams of fibre, and only 400 calories from your base Oats and Protein – once you add your fruit and nuts you’ve got yourself a fibrous, vitamin packed, protein rich start to your day!
