New Oats?
With winter finally here in SE QLD I broke out the oats this morning. This relatively (<12months) new one caught my attention a while back and today was the day. It claims 11g protein per serve with low sugar. Energy per serve is 740kJ (177kcal). My serving size was 2 sachet's on soy with a banana. Yours maybe less or more depending on requirements.
Pros: tastes pretty good, convenient/fast breakfast option in the microwave, particularly with added protein/other wholegrains, love the line on the sachet idea for measuring milk or water.
Cons: instant will never be as good as real oats (In my book if you know how to cook them), more expensive option, not gluten free (due to added grains) for those with coeliac disease.
Verdict: Would eat again, super convenient post training option.

Using up your veg:
The current situation allows us to focus on reducing food waste, and save a few dollars at the same time.
Last night I experimented with a Morrocan-style Cottage Vegetable Pie. Thinking outside the box I wanted to ensure adequate protein in this one. Ingredients were: stir-fried onion, carrot, parsley, garlic, 3Tbs Moroccan spice, 1Tbs smoked paprika, 500g super fine diced tofu, leftover baby spinach/mushrooms, a bag of frozen cauliflower, 1 tin of lentils, 1 tin of tomato and some added water. While this was cooking I boiled some potato/sweet potato, mashed and stirred in some olive oil and egg yolk before pasting this on the top of the mix (cottaged it), in an oven proof dish. Before sprinkling with some cheese to cook for 20mins at 180deg C.
Repeating this again, I'd probably add less liquid and mix half of the cheese in with the veg.
The tofu: like I tell clients: it really doesn't taste like much and in this dish you don't notice it. Ticks for protein, carbs and vegetables (just use whatever veg you have).
Fun fact1: tofu has ~10g protein per 80g.
Fun fact2: this meal has more FODMAPS than you can poke a stick at: great for gut health, not so good for IBS sufferers
