Have you ever had high protein oats?
Give your oats a protein boost so you won’t be hungry again an hour later.
Many factors affect how long it takes a meal to empty from your stomach and enter the small intestine. One factor is the type of food. When eating a meal, carbohydrates leave the stomach first, while protein and fat stick around for longer.
So when you wake up next morning check to see whats on your plate. If your having a bowl of fruit then add some yogurt to it. If you decide to have toast maybe cook yourself an egg. Or if you decide to have a bowl of cereal check the protein content and be sure to drink the milk. Kashi Go Lean is an example of a good high protein cereal. As for rolled oats, a 1/2 cup has about 7 grams of protein. If you are looking to triple this number then try adding peanut butter and eggs.
My friend recently told me about her amazing discovery and I thought I would share it with you all. She strives to be a professional rock climber and to help build muscle she is always looking for ways to add protein to meals. Her new discovery was creamy pro-oat. I know, eggs in oatmeal doesn’t sound the yummiest but ohh man is it good!

Cover and simmer for another 5 min. Stir in about 3 Tbsp of peanut butter and 1-2 Tbsp of honey and Enjoy!(you might need to adjust the peanut butter and honey to your liking).
Pro-oat can provide you with 21-31 grams of protein depending on how much peanut butter and eggs are used.
