Protein powder, almond milk, nut butter: there’s a lot we can add to our favourite porridge, let’s find some more out now
Protein powder is a godsend. We all need that extra bump throughout the day. If we’re lifting weights, then we should be consuming 1 gram of protein per pound (2.2 grams per kg) of body weight, but you don’t need nearly as much for cardio. Whatever your chosen exercise, protein porridge is a great and easy way to ingest the often unsavoury supplement. Protein powders can be consumed with milk or water, but what if you want to combine them with your favourite oats?
Protein powder, protein oatmeal, almond butter additives – we have a lot to choose from when it comes to modifying our favourite dishes. Powder into protein porridge doesn’t have to be as plain as it sounds, so let’s have a look at some today.
Let’s run through it.
Step 1
Pour your oats into a bowl and cover it only with milk, or an alternative liquid.
Step 2
Heat up the porridge for two minutes (or thereabout) with either a microwave or hob. Make sure to stir halfway through to make the best porridge you can.
Step 3
Allow it then to cool after cooking is done.
Step 4
The protein part…
Make sure to add your protein powder thoroughly to your oats. You can add chia seeds, oat milk, coconut milk, greek yoghurt, soy milk and more to add texture or a bit more looseness from the liquid side of things.
A classic step-by-step to making the perfect porridge. But what of more protein-based aspects?

FAQs
What do people mean when they say they use overnight oats?
”Overnight oats (also called ONO) is an alternative way of preparing oatmeal that doesn’t involve any cooking. Rather than the traditional method of boiling oats, overnight oats are mixed with milk, or a dairy-free alternative, and left overnight in the fridge, allowing the oats to hydrate.” – Oats Overnight, 2017.
