    Protein Oatmeal Recipe DIY

    I’ve been eating this for quite some time, and have shared my protein oatmeal recipe with several of my friends and those I consult as a trainer. In fact, this recipe is one of the primary reasons that I use the protein that I do – BSN SYNTHA-6 Protein Powder. When you mix most protein powders into something hot, like this protein oatmeal recipe they tend to coagulate. The protein gels up like cooking an egg white and the taste is usually awful. The BSN proteins seem to tolerate the heat better. Just be sure not to actually boil it. I’ll explain the sequence I use below. Protein Oatmeal Recipe…

    This is a total treat, right up there with ice cream, but way better for you. In a bowl stir together: 1 cup fat-free plain yogurt 1 scoop strawberry protein powder gently stir in: 1/2 cup mixed frozen berries It’s great to start eating right away, as the berries seem to thaw as you stir and eat, leaving some ice crystals for chewy surprise texture.

    Healthier Chocolate Yogurt

    Now with Raspberry Protein Yogurt Recipe Below Sadly, the yogurt you buy in the store is mostly some form of sugar, sometimes a lot of fat, and pretty processed. If you look at the nutrition information, it’s really just a snack, probably a bit healthier than a candy bar, but if you want the most bang for your caloric “buck” so to speak, you can do better. My favorite recipe for a high protein low fat low sugar “snack” with probiotics is: 6-8 oz fat-free plain yogurt 1 scoop/serving dry protein shake mix powder stir well and chow down I prefer BSN Syntha-6 Protein Powder because it mixes quite well…
