The power of protein. Our bodies need it for bones, muscles, and body chemicals, among other things. Because the body does not store protein, it’s important to add it in throughout the day. It is especially beneficial when working out because protein can be converted by the body into glucose for energy. Today I’m sharing a favorite protein packed pre-workout snack: Oatmeal with Vanilla Silk Soymilk and cinnamon apples.
A Protein Packed Pre-Workout Snack
Since oats contain more protein than any other common grain, they are the perfect pre-workout snack. Substitute regular milk for Silk Soymilk, which includes 8 grams of plant-powered protein per serving, no cholesterol, and naturally lower saturated fat. It’s really a win-win for your workouts.
Additional Silk Soymilk benefits include:
- No high-fructose corn syrup
- No artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives
- Plant-based
- Enrolled in or verified by the Non-GMO Project
- Responsibly produced
- Free of gluten, casein, peanuts, egg
Silk Soymilk is also a great dairy and lactose alternative, plus it tastes delicious! It works great over cereal, in smoothies and shakes, or on its own. Did you know you get 50% more calcium than dairy milk? That’s right, Silk Soymilk has 45% of the daily value of calcium per serving versus 30% in dairy milk.

That looks delicious! My favorite pre-workout snacks are Luna bars or almonds.
Allison says
Sounds super yummy! I love Silk, but typically choose vanilla almond milk and use it in my coffee everyday! I need to start eating something more after workouts though!
