If you are one of those who are careful about your health, you should know how to make a high-protein breakfast. Fortified oatmeal is an immensely healthy and hearty bowl of breakfast. It consists of high-quality protein that prevents you from being hungry during the mid-morning and lowers the levels of cholesterol as well. There are several benefits of flax meals and here is how you can include it in your breakfast.

• Fill a pan with approximately 8 oz. (1 cup) of water for boiling. Add to it three handfuls of oats. You may also stir in the contents of a box of raisin to it, if you want to. In order to prevent the oats from boiling over you should add 1 tsp. of olive oil. Now, cook the mixture for 3 minutes or so over medium-low heat.  

• Take off the pan from heat and stir in some shakes of flax meal and add 1 tbsp. of natural peanut butter. Cover the pan and allow it to stand for another 1 to 3 minutes.

• After a few minutes, you should stir again in order to mix the melted peanut butter properly into the oats.

• Sweeten the recipe with honey, pure maple syrup or molasses, if desired. It is best served with organic milk.
