Protein Oatmeal for those Pumpkin Lovers!
I assume every bodybuilder eats protein oatmeal at some point throughout their life. Unless their like me and eat them at just about every meal. While I do love eating them with just some splenda and cinnamon, I do like a change from time to time. This is my version of a pumpkin protein oatmeal, better known as Pumpkin Oatein(I know very cleaver huh).
I always eat oatmeal with whey protein as my pre workout meal. I figured since I have been adding pumpkin to everything these days, I would give this a try. I was actually amazed how good this really was. It has been a great addition to my pre workout meal.
A 1/4c. of raw pumpkin is only about 20 calories and about 5 carbs. So your adding great flavor to your oatmeal without adding a ton of calories. If your looking for a nice change to your morning oats or your pre workout meal like me. I high recommend giving this quick protein oatmeal a try.
