Notes
Note: If you are not using a vegan protein powder, you likely will not need as much dairy free milk. You may also need to add your own sweetness if you are not using a pre-sweetened protein powder.
If you are choosing not to use a sweet protein powder, you will want to sweetened up this cauliflower oatmeal. Here are some great options:
- Mashed banana – this will naturally sweeten the oatmeal and help with the creamy consistency. Be sure it’s extra ripe to make it extra sweet!
- Maple syrup or honey – add ½ tablespoon at a time until you get to your desired sweetness.
- No added sugar maple syrup – typically this is make with monk fruit and is pretty sweet. You may want to start with 1 teaspoon and increase it 1 teaspoon at a time until you get your desired sweetness.
- Peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter or tahini
- Cacao nibs
- Hemp hearts
- Low carb fruit
- Chopped nuts
- No added sugar chocolate chips
- Sliced bananas
