Instructions
- Make the Oatmeal: Bring the water vanilla extract and salt to a gentle boil. Add the oats, coconut shreds, protein powder, hemp seeds, cauliflower rice, turmeric and chai spices. Whisk until thoroughly combined.
- Cook: Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Add the Almond Milk: Once the oatmeal has thickened, pour the almond milk over the mixture and cook until warm, about 5 more minutes.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with pumpkin seeds and/or Candied Pecans and a dollop of Cashew Cream or Coconut Whipped Cream if you have some prepared.
Notes
If the oatmeal sticks to the pan, reduce the heat and add more water or almond milk, one tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
