Why this breakfast works

Protein Pumpkin Oatmeal builds its protein from oats, protein powder and Greek yogurt. At 32g protein and 425 calories, about 30% of its energy comes from protein, and it comes together in roughly 12 minutes. It reaches that protein without any eggs, leaning on oats, protein powder and Greek yogurt instead, so it works whether you are out of eggs or avoiding them entirely.

Ingredients

1/2 cup rolled oats
3/4 cup unsweetened milk
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1/3 cup pumpkin puree
1 tablespoon chopped pecans
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

Cook 1/2 cup rolled oats with 3/4 cup unsweetened milk over medium heat until creamy and tender, about 4-5 minutes.
Take the pan off the heat, then stir in 1 scoop vanilla protein powder so it blends in smoothly without seizing.
Fold through 1/3 cup pumpkin puree, 1 tablespoon chopped pecans and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.
Serve warm, or refrigerate and reheat with a splash of milk to loosen it.
