Why You Should Consider Adding Protein Powder To Your Oatmeal
By KAREN GRECO
Just 30 grams of protein at breakfast can have a big impact on your day, and it can easily be added to your morning bowl of oats. Protein can help you maintain your diet by lowering your odds of overeating by decreasing the release of ghrelin, a hormone that makes you feel hungry.
Eating muscle-building protein in the morning before a workout can help you create muscle since you will not be using your body's protein reserves, which are meant for recovery. Another benefit to a high protein breakfast is it helps lower blood pressure and prevent heart-related diseases and strokes.
While an egg can provide protein to your morning oats, those living a plant-based lifestyle can choose instead to use a scoop or two of protein powders. The choice might be ideal because it comes in various flavors, adds a creamier texture to oatmeal and is simple to include in your breakfast.
