This warming breakfast has been in heavy rotation this winter. My 2 year old daughter loves this recipe and it’s the perfect amount to feed both of us. Or all 3 of us if you include the baby boy in my belly ;). Cutting the oatmeal with cauliflower and chia lowers the overall carbohydrate serving in the meal while still giving you the cozy oatmeal experience. This recipe is a great source of fiber from the chia seeds and can be topped with additional nutrition. (If you are seed cycling, feel free to swap the chia seeds with your phased seeds.) I often add a handful of organic berries, nuts and my daily serving of brazil nuts on top. I sometimes rotate the berries and nuts for diced apple, cashew butter and a generous shake of ceylon cinnamon. You can play around with the toppings to find your favorite combo!

INGREDIENTS:

1.5 cup water
1/2 cup frozen riced cauliflower ( I used the Trader Joes brand)
1/2 cup sprouted oatmeal
2 tbsp chia seeds
pinch of pure powdered stevia
1/2-1 tbsp vanilla protein powder
Toppings: 1/3 cup berries, 3 tbsp sliced nuts, a splash of unsweetened almond milk

MAKE:

Add water, riced cauliflower, oatmeal to a saucepan. Stir well and bring to a boil.
Once boiling stir in chia seeds. Turn off heat and cover with lid. Let sit for 5-10 minutes.
Removed lid. Add stevia and protein powder and mix really well until fully blended in.
Scoop into two bowls add toppings and drizzle with milk to serve.
