Six Bulking Breakfast Oats

Description

Oats are a great start to the day and possibly the best way to get in your morning protein, refuel for the day, get a headstart on your calorie consumption for bulking, plus load up on fiber and micro nutrients. But plane oats, though great, get boring if you have them every day. They also can be boosted a great deal in terms of nutritional content with a few easy additions. So, here is my personal rotation of breakfast oat recipes I use to keep things interested and support my goals — especially bulking.

The whites of 3 large eggs
1 tablespoon peanut butter
Optional: 1 tablespoon of strawberry jam
