Protein Packed Morning Oats

2 Servings

Made with organic rolled oats, cinnamon, cardamom, ground ginger, and a touch of maple syrup, this breakfast is both comforting and nutritious. Creamy organic soy milk adds a delicious richness. Top it with organic cacao nibs and a savory seed mix for a nutrient boost. It is packed with protein, omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and antioxidants.

Serves: 2

Oats

• 1 ½ cups water
• 1 cup organic rolled oats
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• ¼ tsp cardamom
• ¼ tsp ground ginger
• 1 Tbsp maple syrup (optional)
• ½ cup organic soy milk (or plant-based milk of your choice)

Toppings

• 2 Tbsps. organic cacao nibs
• 2 Tbsps. hemp seeds
• 2 Tbsps. chia seeds
• 2 Tbsps. ground flax seeds
• 2 Tbsps. sesame seeds
• 2 Tbsps. pumpkin seeds 

1. Bring water to a boil in a pot with a dash of salt, if desired. Add oats and return to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the oats are soft, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the spices, maple syrup, and soy milk. Remove from heat and stir well to combine.
3. Divide the oats between two bowls and top with 1 tablespoon of each seed. I like to place the seeds side by side in rows, but you can arrange the seeds however you like. Enjoy!
