Hey guys. I am, Kenta Seki, a health and fitness trainer and nutritionist. I am beyond excited to be working with Team GNC and to bring you my favorite pro tips when it comes to health, fitness, and nutrition. I can’t wait to inspire, educate, and motivate you to take your wellness journey to the next level. Today, we’re going to be talking about protein. Protein is such an important part of your diet, especially if you’re working out. You want to be making sure you’re getting enough protein for your goals. Our bodies are literally made of protein. Every bodily function we have, your immune system, your muscles, your breathing, all of it functions because of protein.
So it’s really important that you’re getting the right amount in there, regardless of what your goal is. If you’re trying to lose weight, if you’re trying to maintain, and even if you’re trying to gain a ton of muscle. One of the first foods most people think about when they hear protein is eggs. Eggs seem to be having a moment right now on social media.
And understandably because eggs are a great source of protein. But you know what’s a great alternative to eggs is actually oats. Today, we’re going to be making my favorite protein packed breakfast oats. Let’s do this. These protein packed breakfast oats are simple, delicious, and packed full of protein. Eggs definitely have a lot of protein in them, but they also have a lot of saturated fat and cholesterol. Today’s recipe is going to be giving you a ton of protein, but also a lot of fiber and so many other nutrients.
We only need five ingredients for today’s recipe. Our first one is almond milk. Let’s have one cup of that or some other type of milk or milk alternative followed by two tablespoons of almond butter. Oats, we’re going to be using half a cup of those. Then we have two tablespoons of black chia seeds. And finally our GNC AMP Wheybolic protein.
Our GNC AMP Wheybolic protein offers you 40 grams of protein, 15 grams of branch chain amino acids, 6.2 grams of leucine, 500 milligrams of velocitol, and 400 milligrams of an enzyme blend per two scoop serving. All of these things together can help your body function at its best. I really like using the creamy peanut butter flavor for this particular recipe. Make sure you also have some type of container. I’ll be using a Mason jar today. You can also use a shaker cup if you like. Totally up to you. Let’s get right into it.
We’re going to start this off with one cup of your almond milk or milk alternative, and we’re going to pour that all the way in. Next, we’re going to follow it up with our half scoop of our GNC AMP Wheybolic protein. Next, we’re going to go ahead and shake that up just a little bit. And we’re going to start with the lightest ingredients first. So the chia seeds go in. Next, we have your oats. We’re going to put the oats in over that.
It gets a little messy. No problem. Food’s more fun when it’s messy, right? And let’s finish it up with our two tablespoons of almond butter. All right. We’re going to finish it off by putting the lid on your container. And the fun part. Let’s shake it up. And all right, guys. There, you have it. That is our protein packed breakfast oats. Make sure you refrigerate this overnight so that you can enjoy it in the morning.
It’s a great, easy, simple way to get your breakfast in and make sure it’s packed full of all kinds of amazing nutrients, especially that protein. There you have it guys. That is our protein packed breakfast oats. I hope you enjoy them. Please make sure you like, comment, and subscribe and tune in next time so that you can learn new ways to live well.
