Egg White Oatmeal (A Protein-Packed, Satisfying Breakfast)

If you’ve been here awhile, you know a plain bowl of oatmeal doesn’t cut it for me anymore – once I realized it wasn’t keeping me full, I started adding healthy fats and fiber to make it truly satisfying. Two of my favorite oatmeal recipes: Overnight Oats and Quick Overnight Steel Cut Oats. Recently, I wanted to boost the protein in my already-satiating bowls without relying on protein powder, and adding egg whites has been the perfect whole-food solution. They make the oatmeal fluffy, creamy, and filling in the best way.

Before you imagine an eggy-tasting breakfast, let me reassure you: the egg whites are completely undetectable. They gently cook into the oatmeal, turning it fluffy, creamy, and more satiating. If I’m craving an egg dish, I’d absolutely enjoy a few whole eggs with veggies. But when the craving is for a warm, fiber-rich oatmeal bowl? This is the perfect way to boost the protein without changing the flavor.

Adding healthy fats and fiber – chia, hemp, flax, almond butter – helps create a balanced bowl that keeps you full, energized, and fueled all morning. A drizzle of maple syrup or honey, plus fresh berries and seeds on top, brings everything together beautifully.

If you haven’t added egg whites to your oatmeal before, give it a try. It’s a simple, affordable, nourishing way to make an already wholesome breakfast even better.

Happy cooking,
Christina
