Struggling to get enough protein in? Swap your oats for proats! Find out how to make delicious protein oats packed with flavours and nutrients.

What Are Proats?

Proats = oats + protein. That’s it!
Oats are a great source of carbs, however they’re not the best source of protein. Adding protein powder into your oats is the easiest and quickest solution. Especially if you work out in the morning or are trying to increase your protein intake! Plus, you might find that you get less hungry before lunch time with a protein-packed brekkie.

How To Make Delicious Proats?

It couldn’t be easier and the good thing is that you can make a different proats version every single day.
The secret is to add the protein powder to your dry oats, then add the milk or water.

Then, you can put them in the fridge for overnight oats or heat them in the microwave or saucepan.

Next, get creative with the toppings.
Add a spoon of peanut or almond butter for healthy fats, fruits for vitamins, some vanilla extract if you’d like… Possibilities are endless! I also love to include superfoods such as Maca powder (great source of iron), Goji berries or Acai powder (packed with antioxidants) and Flaxseeds (rich in Omega 3). I’m sharing two of my favourite proats recipes below!
