We threw in 1 scoop of flavorless protein powder just to give this whole recipe an extra boost of protein and we recommend our weight loss surgery community to do the same. This will help you feel fuller longer throughout your day, and help you to not overeat during the holiday season, (or whenever you make this dish)
On top of the flavorless protein powder, you can also top your breakfast bowl with additional sources of protein such as sausage, turkey bacon, and egg. Any one of these options will blend well with the other ingredients. Just keep in mind the portion sizes recommended by your surgeon.
