A good friend of mine asked for a yummy pumpkin breakfast recipe...what evokes the feeling of fall more than a warm bowl of oatmeal that reminds you of PUMPKIN PIE?!
Think of this as your healthy pie that packs a nutritional punch! Boooyahhhh!
What you need:
1/4 c. almond, skim or rice milk 1/2 c. old-fashioned oats
Pinch cinnamon
Pinch nutmeg or pumpkin spice
1/8 c. canned organic pumpkin
1/4 c. water
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1/8 c. sliced almonds or walnuts (optional!)
How to make it:
Bring your milk and water to a boil over medium heat. Stir in your oatmeal and spices. Reduce heat and mix all together until the liquid is absorbed. Then Stir in pumpkin.
Combine 1/4 c water and your protein powder in a bowl. Mix with a fork until protein powder is absorbed. Pour protein mixture over oatmeal and stir to combine.
