Warm Gingerbread Protein Bowl

November 13, 2023

This one has oats but as always just 1/2 a serving to keep levels stable or there’s a swap for my friends who can’t do oats or are keto. Here for the holiday flavors. All the spices are worth the mouth party magic. To create this cozy bowl, start with 1 to 1 1/2 cups of frozen riced cauliflower for a low-carb and veggie-packed base. Pour in 1/4 cup of almond milk or your milk of choice to bring creaminess to the bowl.

Add 1/4 cup of organic old-fashioned oats for a classic touch. If you're going for a n'oats option, swap the oats for 2 tablespoons of coconut flour. Season with a dash of pink salt, 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon, and a dash of cloves, allspice, and ginger for that warm gingerbread flavor.

Enhance the flavor profile with 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract and/or optional molasses for an authentic touch. Add a serving of your favorite vanilla protein and a scoop of collagen for that protein-packed goodness.

For an extra fiber boost, mix in 1-2 tablespoons of ground flax or psyllium husk. Top the bowl with 1-2 tablespoons of almond or cashew butter for a creamy and nutty finish.

The result? A Warm Gingerbread Protein Bowl that's not only easy to prepare but also a comforting and nutritious breakfast option. Enjoy the warm and spiced flavors with each spoonful!
