Since I have started prioritizing protein and fiber I have been adding flaxseed, protein powder, and egg whites to my hot breakfast cereal, and now there is no going back! Oatmeal is full of great nutrition, but I would really need to eat a lot of oatmeal (for a lot of calories!) to get to over 30g of protein for my breakfast (which is where I like to be). Expanding my regular cooked oatmeal to include high fiber, high protein ingredients has turned a basic bowl of oats into an incredibly healthy breakfast! …and summer fruit is coming and I am here for it! Plums and nectarines are among my favorites!

Ingredients
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the oats, flax seed, salt and water.
Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then turn the heat down to low and continue to cook until the oats start to soften and the mixture starts to thicken (about 5 minutes).
Add the protein powder and stir until the protein powder is completely incorporated.
Slowly add the egg whites, stirring continuously, until they are completely incorporated.
Pour the oatmeal into a serving bowl, top with the plums and nectarines, and enjoy!
