These superfood bowls are so easy to make and so filling. I find them great to make for a quick breakfast or lunch. I typically have at least one a day because I find it is the easiest and most delicious way to get in all the nutrient dense super-foods. These super-foods are typically forgotten about in the everyday diet. The standard ingredients of these bowls consist of chia seeds, hemp seeds, flax seed, coconut sugar and unsweetened coconut.
This superfood bowl's ingredients consist of:
- 1/2 cup oatmeal
-1 banana
- dash of unsweetened almond milk
-raspberries
- 2 figs
-walden farms blueberry jelly (sugar free, calorie free)
-1 TBSP of each: chia seeds, hemp seeds, flax seeds, coconut sugar, unsweetened coconut
Directions:
1. Cook oats according to directions (I microwave mine with water)
2. Mash up banana in cooked oats
3. Add rest of ingredients and mix together
Other variations:
-add greek yogurt
-cook oats with egg whites for more protein
-add protein powder to oats for additional protein
-add Quest protein bar pieces (which I usually do)
