High-Protein Plum & Nectarine Oatmeal Bowl!
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!

Despite cooking at home and eating whole, clean foods, I started gaining weight, felt exhausted all the time, and—let’s be honest—I was mad at everyone!
I found myself visiting doctors often, desperate to feel healthy again.
Everything changed when I discovered the power of prioritizing protein at every meal and lifting heavy weights to build muscle! I finally feel like myself again!
