Love to eat seasonally so I was pumped to see fresh cranberries at the store. I’ve literally had this 5 days in a row so thought I should share asap for my warm protein bowl fans. 40g protein and 14g fiber. Cranberries are loaded with vitamins C, A, & K and are tart so a low carb fruit and super blood sugar friendly. So needed this time of year.
INGREDIENTS
-
1 c frozen riced cauli
-
1/4-1/3 c fresh cranberries
-
1/4 c milk of choice, used cashew
-
dash pink salt
-
1/2 - 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon
-
1 serving vanilla, peanut butter, or salted caramel protein
-
1 scoop collagen or more flavored pro to get to 30g
-
1 T ground flaxseed or psyllium husk powder (2 T whole husk flakes)
-
1-2 T nut butter of choice or 2 T walnuts for a crunch
STEPS
Microwave:
-
In a glass bowl add the milk, cauli, cranberries, salt, and spice. Cover with a paper towel!! They pop while cooking and will make a mess.
-
Microwave 5-6 minutes.
-
Remove and add protein and flax/husk.
-
Stir well and add more milk if desired. Add healthy fat toppings and enjoy!
-
In a skillet or saucepan, add milk, cauli, cranberries, salt, and spice. Cook over med heat covered!! until cauli and cranberries are softened and cooked. Cranberries explode while cooking so cover!
-
Remove from heat and add protein and and flax/husk.
-
Pour in a bowl and add healthy fat toppings.

Hi – I remember reading somewhere about the cauli you like best…and that the secret is cooking it for a while…will you remind me which cauliflower you buy or where the post is that you talk about it? Am going to try this!!! Thanks!

The biggie is cooking long enough. I’ve landed in 7 minutes with my microwave. Birds Eye and Walmart non organic are the strongest ick taste I’ve had. All others seem to be more mild and delish
Hi! Sounds delicious! Do you count the collagen towards the overall protein? I don’t track collagen for my protein totals so want to know if it’s in the 40g or not. Thanks!

Yes but you can use 10g more of complete protein powder instead of collagen (like mine protein ha) as an option too, to hit your protein goal.
Love this cranberry protein bowl! It’s on repeat with the sweet potato protein bowl! Perfect for the fall 🍂

Those two are faves for sure. Yay! Makes me happy
Can you use frozen cranberries instead of fresh?

thepeachiespoon replied:
Yes! They should cook in the same amount of time so no change
This is absolutely delicious. I did not think the protein powder and collagen would dissolve given how it looked but it does. Very tasty and you would never know this wasn’t oats. Thank you!!
