    Claire,
    This looks and sounds so yummy! Any ideas on how to bump up the protein a little more?

      You could add in a scoop of protein powder if you use that. If not, then maybe serve with a side of Greek yogurt and small amount of fruit. You could consider an additional tablespoon of an almond or peanut butter. Not sure how that would taste though!

      I hope I’m not butting into your conversation, but I made something similar to this last year and I whipped up 1-2 egg whites and put them in the last few minutes of cooking time on my stove. I just stirred them in really well and you’ll never even know they’re in there. 2 egg whites will bump up the protein count to almost 8 grams if I am remembering correctly.

      I have been stirring a some Greek yogurt into oatmeal after it is fixed lately. It makes it supper creamy and goes great with anything I add to the oatmeal like raisins or blueberries. I am really anxious to try this pumpkin oatmeal.

    I have oatmeal every morning but I have not tried pumpkin in it. This looks like a great fall option especially since I have ‘homemade’ pumpkin!

    This looks AMAZING! I’m going to try it with my steel cut oats since that’s all I have right now. I love trying new things in my oatmeal!

    I tried this last fall but had forgotten – it WAS delicious. Play with the spices. I like clove & allspice, too. Or the pumpkin pie spice mixture. A few raisins or craisins are good, but they bump up the calories quickly.

        You know, I haven’t seen any difference in the preparation between the two types. It kind of confused me…

    However, you will find much healthier methods for getting a little protein.

    Hence, fitness trainers recommend you to have at least 8 hours
    of sound sleep for healthy body. If you have been listening to diet nonsense on TV,
    inside magazines and inside the lunch room, you might be skeptical of the,
    but this really is science. When in comparison to
    the estimates of the various designs of plates, individuals with the larger rims were approximated to own between five and 10 % more food than what was actually there.

    One group was put on a low calorie plan and one other group
    was told to simply eat healthily.

    Thanks for posting this recipe!! To bump up the protein I typically cook the oatmeal with water and then replace almond milk with one scoop of vanilla protein powder…it’s delicious!
