Protein oats, proats for short, make for a tasty and nutritious breakfast. This recipe is easy to make and there’s a vegan option, too.
If you’re looking for a simple but delicious meal for your healthy morning routine, you should definitely give proats a try! The best part? You can add different ingredients for different flavors, so you won’t grow tired of this protein-rich breakfast.
Protein oats are best enjoyed with fresh fruit and a nut spread. For the fruit, pick whatever you prefer so long as it is in season in your region. Berries, apples, pears, peaches, or plums are all great options.
Note: Like overnight oats, you’ll need to prepare protein oats the night before you want to have them for breakfast.

Ingredients for Proats: What you should consider
Whether you are preparing proats, a vegan apple pie or falafel. We recommend buying organic products whenever possible. Organic dairy farms are subject to strict regulations regarding the use of pesticides and hormones and they are more concerned with animal welfare. So, in buying certified organic products, you support ecological farming practices and you can avoid food that has been treated with synthetic pesticides. This is good for both the environment and your health.
