2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut shreds

Garnish with:
1 tablespoon Organic Sprouted Pumpkin Seeds or Candied Pecans
2 tablespoons Homemade Cashew Cream
Optional:
Additional pure liquid stevia or monk fruit drops to taste if needed.
Instructions
- Quickly rinse the oats in a mesh strainer to remove any “dust”.
- Bring the water and salt to a gentle boil. Then add the protein powder and whisk until dissolved.
- Add the oats, coconut shreds, hemp seeds, cauliflower rice, vanilla extract, turmeric and chai spices. Whisk until thoroughly combined. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring frequently.
- After about 10 minutes have passed and the oatmeal has started to thicken, pour the almond milk over the oats and stir to incorporate.
- 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 you notice the oatmeal sticking to the pan, reduce the heat and add more water, one tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
