Protein Oatmeal Bowl

Love your morning oatmeal, but wonder how to reduce the carbs and increase the protein?
Wonder no more! This recipe packs a powerful punch with 40 extra grams of protein by including egg whites, Greek yogurt and protein powder. Chia seeds and hemp hearts boost nutrition with 16% of your potassium and an impressive 56.9% of your magnesium for the day.

Reducing the standard oat serving by 25%, we use only 30 grams to dial back the carbs and achieve a more balanced macronutrient ratio. With over 9 grams of fiber, the net carbs come in at 25 grams (not including optional toppings). These provide fuel for your morning workout or when you have an active day ahead.
