Ingredients Notes

Eggs: Provide complete, high-bioavailable protein with all essential amino acids—perfect for muscle synthesis in calisthenics training.
Greek yogurt (plain, non-fat or low-fat): Super high in protein (about 20g per cup) and probiotics for gut health; adds creaminess to eggs.
Rolled oats: Complex carbs for sustained energy during long sessions; high in fiber to support digestion and fullness.
Fresh berries: Low-calorie antioxidants rich in vitamin C to aid collagen formation and reduce inflammation from intense bodyweight work.
Natural nut butter (almond or peanut): Healthy fats and a bit more protein; choose unsweetened for clean eating.
Milk (dairy or plant-based): Adds creaminess and extra protein—use high-protein options like fairlife or soy for a boost.

Variations and Substitutions

Higher protein: Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder to the oats or eggs.
Vegan version: Use plant-based yogurt, egg substitute (like Just Egg), and plant milk.
Low-carb/keto: Skip oats and double eggs/yogurt; add spinach or zucchini.
Fruit swap: Use sliced banana, apple, or mango instead of berries.
Nut-free: Use sunflower seed butter or tahini.
Savory twist: Add spinach, tomatoes, and feta to the eggs for a Mediterranean flair.
Overnight oats style: Mix everything cold and refrigerate overnight.

Storage Options

Store scrambled eggs and oats separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat eggs gently in microwave or skillet; oats can be microwaved with a splash of milk. Not ideal for freezing due to texture changes in eggs.
