Trying to get more veggies in your day? Me too! That’s why this pumpkin cauliflower oatmeal recipe is perfect for breakfast! I ate the whole bowl and never would have known this wasn’t traditional oatmeal. It was creamy, had great texture and was so simple to make. Did I mention it’s pumpkin!! Yes it’s the perfect way to blend the still not so cool mornings of fall with pumpkin, my one true love. Or maybe it’s the pumpkin spice I love. Did you know I bought a 1 pound bag of pumpin spice so I wouldn’t run out this year? It’s the best!

I have been taking short cuts when I can in the kitchen lately. I used the riced cauliflower from Trader Joe’s. My local grocery store also has riced cauliflower but it’s double the price as my beloved Trader Joe’s. Honestly I should be whipping out my food processor to make riced cauliflower. It doesn’t take very long and you get like double the riced cauliflower for the same price. But you know sometimes, the only way I’m getting healthy food is with some help from the grocery store. Maybe you can relate?

So cauliflower oats, have you tried them? Basically is cauliflower rice but sweet, like oatmeal! I’ve been obsessed with cauli-oats for a few months, and it’s been an awesome way to start the day with veggies when I wasn’t craving a green smoothie or eggs. These are also great to make the night before, like overnight oats, since they don’t require any cooking if you do your meal prep the right way!

I try to set my week up for success by doing some simple meal prep on the weekends. I’m not talking about making extravagant meals, I often don’t have time to even meal plan, but what I do always have time for is to make some staple items that I can then use throughout the week in various meals. You know the things that seem to take all of your time during the week. Like waiting for quinoa to cook or chicken to roast.

Instead do it all in BIG batches on the weekend and in the same amount of time, you have food for 2-3 meals! I don’t season things so I can use them in a bunch of different recipes! This is the time I also try to microwave or steam my cauliflower rice. I either empty a few bags of Trader Joe’s riced cauliflower into a large glass bowl or I take a cauliflower head and rice it down in the microwave. Add the juice of half a lemon (to help with the smell) and microwave for 5-6 minutes on high. This way the riced cauliflower is ready for me all week for breakfast, lunches or dinner!

    DELISH spin on normal cauli oats to work through some pumpkin in my fridge. Added chai to spice it up and topped with some blueberries.

    I eat something like this *almost* everyday, whether for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snack! I usually top it with banana and nut butter and can’t get enough. :)
