By combining it with various protein-containing ingredients, you can turn your porridge into a protein bowl that will strengthen you for your workout or help you replenish your energy stores after exercise. Many athletes also use protein powder. With the right toppings, you can increase the protein content of your porridge bowl even without protein powder.
