  *Macros will change depending on the toppings you use. Macros have been calculated based on the toppings of 2 serves of fruit (e.g. 1 banana and ½ cup berries)

INGREDIENTS

• 1/3-1/2 cup quick oats

• 1 tbsp ground flaxseed

• 1 scoop vegan powder of choice

• 1 tbsp cacao powder (or you can use chocolate protein powder and reduce/omit the cacao)

• 1 cup soy milk (or plant milk of choice)

• 1/2 cup water

  Topping Suggestions:

• Seasonal fruit of choice

• Plant-based yogurt

• Cacao nibs

METHOD

1. Place oats in a pot and cover with plant milk and allow to cook for a few minutes. If using microwave method place oats and milk in a bowl and microwave for a few minutes.

2. Once oats are cooked, mix in the protein powder, flaxseed, cacao powder, and the extra water. Be prepared to add in more water if needed as the chia seeds and protein powder soak up a lot of moisture!

3. Once everything is combined, pour cooked porridge mixture into a bowl, top with all of your favourite toppings and enjoy!

   Note:

   I sometimes like to cook with 1/2 soy milk and 1/2 water and save the remaining 1/2 cup of soy milk to serve on top of the oats - so feel free to adjust to your preference!
