Allergens
Nuts (almonds and almond milk), gluten (oats)
Ingredients
1 cup rolled oats
2 cups unsweetened almond milk
1 scoop plant
based protein powder (vanilla)
1/4 cup Greek yogurt (unsweetened)
1/2 cup mixed berries (frozen or fresh)
1 small ripe avocado, pitted and peeled
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 tablespoon flaxseeds
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped almonds
1/4 cup dried cranberries
Fresh mint leaves, for garnish
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine rolled oats, almond milk, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until the oats are tender, about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Remove from heat and stir in the plant based protein powder, mixing well until fully combined.
In a blender, combine avocado, yogurt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and blend until smooth and creamy. This will be your green energy sauce.
To assemble the bowl, pour the cooked oatmeal into two serving bowls, top with mixed berries, chia seeds, and flaxseeds. Drizzle with the avocado yogurt sauce and finish off with a sprinkle of chopped almonds, dried cranberries, and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
