Protein Porridge

What is Protein Porridge?

Protein Porridge is a high protein porridge — protein oatmeal, if you prefer the American word — in a single-serve sachet. 62 g of powder, 200 ml of boiling water, five minutes of soaking: that is the entire recipe. One serving provides 31 g of protein at 215 kcal and only 16 g of carbohydrates, which puts the protein-to-carb ratio at 2:1. Behind that sits a mix of 55 % milk protein concentrate and 39 % wholegrain oat flakes in gluten-free quality. Ordinary porridge is a carbohydrate meal — this one turns the ratio around, and you never have to stir protein powder into your oats to get there.

Why you will love Protein Porridge

• 31 g of protein per serving — high protein content at 215 kcal per 62 g sachet.
• Gluten-free — the wholegrain oat flakes are declared as gluten-free quality; the only one of our three protein meals for which that applies.
• Source of fibre — 4.3 g of fibre per serving from glucomannan, psyllium husk powder and soluble corn fibre.
• 65 % fewer carbohydrates — compared with conventional porridge sweetened with sugar and made without sweeteners.
• No added sugar — 2.0 g of sugar per serving, sweetened with steviol glycosides from stevia; contains naturally occurring sugars.
• Five minutes, no pan — a kettle is all it takes, at the office just as much as in a hotel room.

How to prepare Protein Porridge

Tip 62 g — exactly one sachet — into a bowl, pour 200 ml of boiling water over it, whisk briskly so no lumps remain and let it soak covered for five minutes. That gives you roughly 260 g of finished porridge. No pan and no stove are involved, which is why a kettle carries the whole thing anywhere. Prefer it cold? Stir the powder with the same amount of liquid in the evening and leave it in the fridge overnight — the overnight version is expressly intended. A plant-based drink works instead of water as well; keep in mind that every extra liquid and every topping changes the nutrition values shown on the pack. For more flavour, stir in a little flavour powder from the Chunky Flavour range.

Protein Porridge vs. conventional porridge

Conventional porridge is essentially oat flakes: carbohydrates dominate, protein arrives at best through the milk, and a spoonful of honey or sugar usually joins in. Here the oat share is reduced in favour of milk protein — 31 g of protein stand against 16 g of carbohydrates, which is around 65 % fewer carbohydrates than conventional porridge sweetened with sugar and made without sweeteners. There is no added sugar at all; the 2.0 g of sugar per serving occur naturally. The German Nutrition Society recommends keeping free sugars below 10 % of daily energy intake — a breakfast that barely touches that limit makes it easier. Mixing something similar yourself is of course possible, it just costs you weighing, washing-up and a bit of arithmetic.

Quality & ingredients

Ingredients: milk protein concentrate 55 %, wholegrain oat flakes (gluten-free) 39 %, glucomannan from the konjac root 2 %, psyllium husk powder, soluble fibre (maize), salt, lactase, sweetener (steviol glycosides from stevia). The product contains milk protein — it is not suitable with a milk protein allergy and it is not vegan. The enzyme lactase breaks down the milk sugar it contains, which usually makes the porridge easy to digest; that does not make it lactose-free. One serving contains 1.0 g of glucomannan. Glucomannan contributes to weight loss in the context of an energy-restricted diet. The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 3 g of glucomannan in three doses of 1 g each, together with 1–2 glasses of water, before meals and in the context of an energy-restricted diet. The labelling on the packaging is always the binding source.
