Up the Protein in Your Oatmeal With These Incredibly Filling Ingredients

A simple way to increase the protein in oatmeal — that doesn't add even one more second of prep time — is by cooking the oats in cow's milk or soy milk instead of water. One cup of unsweetened soy milk, for example, adds seven grams of protein and two grams of fiber, whereas a cup of skim milk adds eight grams of protein. Milk generally doesn't offer tons of fiber, so stir in some berries, apples, or canned pumpkin (as in this recipe below) to boost that count, too.
