This is how I make my super simple Chocolate Cherry Cauliflower Oatmeal! It takes just a few minutes and starts your day off right with a great combination of fiber, carbs, protein and healthy fats!
Ingredients
- ¾ cup frozen riced cauliflower
- ½ cup quick oats gluten free if needed
- 1 scoop chocolate vegan protein powder check for gluten free if needed - I love Earth Chimp
- ½ tablespoon cocoa powder optional
- 1 cup water
- 1-2 cups frozen pitted cherries any variety of frozen berries also works great in this recipe. I like to do a cherry berry mix!
- ½ tablespoon ground flax seed
Instructions
Microwave Instructions
- Add the cauliflower rice, quick oats, protein powder, cocoa powder and water to a bowl and mix well. Top with frozen berries, do not mix.
- Microwave for 3-4 minutes. Stir well and then microwave for another 1-2 minutes until everything is warmed through.
- Top with flax and enjoy! If you need a little more sweetness, sliced banana, dates or a drizzle of maple syrup work great!
Stove Top Instructions
- Add all ingredients, except ground flax to a medium saucepan, cover and cook over medium-low heat until the frozen ingredients are hot and the oats are tender, about 8-10 minutes. Stir well.
- Top with flax and enjoy!
Notes
Recipe Notes
- I use Earth Chimp Chocolate Protein, which is very mildly sweet.
- I recommend tasting your oats before adding sweetener, since protein powders vary a lot.
- If you prefer sweeter oats, a drizzle of maple syrup or sliced banana on top does the trick.
- This recipe is incredibly customizable — swap cherries for strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries depending on what you have on hand.
