40g protein and 18g fiber. Tis the season! So ready!
Loving this complete blood sugar-friendly meal right now. Super similar to the sweet potato pro bowl but I added riced cauli for more volume without more starch. Kinda like oatmeal but oats + pumpkin or any carb/starch isn’t the best for my blood sugar when I test with my CGM. So I created this feel good recipe to have on repeat and reach those healthy goals all at once.
INGREDIENTS
1 - 1 1/2 c frozen riced cauli
3/4 c canned pumpkin purée (1/2 c works if needing to have less carbs in your health journey)
1/4 c milk of choice, used cashew
dash pink salt
1-1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 serving vanilla protein powder @thepeachiespoon.nutrition
1 scoop collagen or more flavored pro to get to 30g
1 T ground flaxseed or psyllium husk powder or whole flakes
1-2 T nut butter of choice
1/2 T pumpkin seeds
-
1 T (sprinkle) of granola
STEPS
Microwave: In a glass bowl add the milk, cauli, pumpkin, salt, and spice. 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!
-
