Hi friends!
You guys know me and my oats. It’s my go-to every morning. I honestly never get sick of them. No exception during this pregnancy. I find that I’m gravitating toward oat AND smoothie bowls because they feel refreshing. My go-to bowl also happens to be packed with a ton of protein (about 25 grams), which is what I’ve been aiming for these days.
Pregnant or not, this bowl is worth a try. It looks more complicated than it is, trust me. I hope you enjoy it.
Recipe
You will need:
- 1/2 cup rolled oats // 6g protein
- 1 cup soy milk // 8g protein
- 1 frozen banana // 1g protein
- 1/2 cup frozen strawberries
- 1/4 cup almond milk
- 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp peanut butter // 8g protein
- Fresh or thawed strawberries
- 1 tbsp coconut chips // 1g protein
- 2 dates, chopped up // 1g protein
Total protein: 25g
To make:
- Prepare oats according to package using oats and soy milk.
- While oats are cooking, make your smoothie by adding banana, strawberries, almond milk, and cocoa powder to your blender. Run until smooth. The thicker the better, so aim for less liquid and add more as you need.
- To assemble, add oats to one side of your bowl and then pour smoothie in the other side.
- Top with peanut butter, strawberries, coconut chips, dates. Or whatever else you want to add! Anything goes.
Looks and tastes fancy, but honestly comes together in under 10 minutes. Plus, 25 grams of protein is a great start to your day. It’s the perfect pregnancy breakfast (imo) and I hope you give it a try.
Have a beautiful, beautiful day. xx bianca
