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.
