Grain-Free Power Porridge
Some days for breakfast, eggs or a smoothie just won’t cut it. But how do you get in your protein requirements and avoid spiking blood sugar first thing to avoid the crashes/cravings later in the day?
Enter, this grain-free “oatmeal” bowl filled with fiber and phytonutrients + a scoop of collagen for a protien boost.
It’s my favorite on a cold winter day, but also works equally well in the summer at room temp with fresh berries or peaches on top.
