A 1 cup serving of 2% milk is naturally high in protein – 8g per cup –  so, swap out your usual cooking water, and use milk instead! Not only does this add a protein boost, but it makes it SO creamy and smooth.

Make it with milk (or almond milk)

Add nut butter or nuts/seeds

Adding nuts and seeds are an awesome, plant-based way to increase both the protein of your morning oats, and make them SO delicious. I mean, who doesn’t love creamy swirls of nut butter or crunchy bursts of nuts and seeds!

Piggy-backing off the savory idea, I love to add a little bit of low-fat cheese on top of my egg (Parmesan is my go-to!)  A 1 oz serving of reduced-fat cheese averages about 7g of protein!

Add cheese – sweet OR savory!

1 oz of flax seed packs 6.5g of protein and 1 oz of chia seed has about 4.5 g of protein. Both are also VERY high in fiber, which is going to make that morning bowl of oats last you BEYOND lunch!
