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 The Peachie Spoon Vanilla Protein Powder

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
-

-

Could I sub something for the cauliflower rice? I can’t do cauliflower with IBS.

Grated or riced zucchini works well too!
My body doesn’t like cauliflower. 😂 Any suggestions on how to modify this recipe without cauliflower rice?

Zucchini works great! Grated or riced. Trying a digestive enzyme before eating cauli may help too!
I love this breakfast! Especially during the winter. Do you have any suggestions for other variations of this dish besides pumpkin puree so I can mix it up a little?

Makes me so happy🥣🎃🥳
Delish! Mixed up the half of the recipe that gets cooked last night and put it in the fridge, and combined the protein powder, collagen, psyllium husk, and ground flaxseed in another small container. It was the perfect quick and nutritious breakfast this morning and fueled me through an intense weight training workout. I’m going to mix up a few more batches this way right now!
