- A dietitian never gets bored of breakfast. Her formula for high-fiber, high-protein oats is inspired by sweet treats.
Josie Porter, a London-based dietitian, creates a high-protein, high-fiber breakfast using jumbo oats, strained Greek yogurt or Skyr, seeds, nuts, and fruit. She varies toppings daily for variety, drawing inspiration from desserts like carrot cake and banana bread to meet her nutrition goals of 20 grams of protein and six grams of fiber per meal.
