Looking for a super-packed breakfast or a pre/post-workout meal for strenuous workouts? Look no further. This bowl starts at 27g of protein. The catch? It comes in at roughly 1000 kcal. If you follow a plant-based diet though, this bowl won’t make you gain weight. It’s incredibly filling and will keep you satiated for hours. If you’re going for a long run, try this a couple of hours beforehand.
You can enjoy this bowl with either steamed or chilled plant-based milk. I used what I had on hand when calculating the macros. Since I was using oat milk, which is low in protein (about 1g per 100g), the total came to 27g. However, if you use soy milk, you can easily bump that up to over 30g without any protein powder. And with protein powder, you can get over 50g of protein. Walnuts, chia seeds, and hemp seeds are added for omega-3. Please note that the chia seeds must be soaked for a few hours or overnight before adding them to your bowl.
Another way to increase the protein content while reducing carbs and fat would be to remove the cashews and cranberries from the recipe and use unsweetened soy milk.
