Two tablespoons of flax meal (aka ground flax seeds) offer about three grams of protein, per the USDA — so this can be one of many protein-packed ingredients you add to your bowl. It also adds three grams of fiber, and 4.5 grams of healthy fats to round out your oatmeal bowl with even more satiating nutrients.
If you already have almond meal in your pantry (perhaps from gluten-free baking), that's also a great option. Langevin recommends adding three tablespoons of almond meal to oatmeal to increase the protein. It adds more than five grams of protein and two grams of fiber, satiating healthy fats, plus a nutty flavor and hearty texture.
