Warm Cranberry Protein Bowl

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 I 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: 

1. 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.

2. Microwave 5-6 minutes.

3. Remove and add protein and flax/husk.

4. Stir well and add more milk if desired. Add healthy fat toppings and enjoy! 

Stovetop: 

1. 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!

2. Remove from heat and add protein and and flax/husk.

3. Pour in a bowl and add healthy fat toppings.
