I love me some protein oats, but 9 out of 10 recipes I see on online involve protein powder. And I get it: using protein powder is a quick fix if you want a high-protein meal.
BUT! Not all of us can use protein powder, for a variety of reasons. So, I present to you an alternative version that’s packed with 23 GRAMS OF PROTEIN. All from natural sources.
This low-sodium dish also has a good amount of carbs, which makes it the perfect pre-workout meal. Check out the recipe below.
