High-Protein Oatmeal Smoothie Bowl

Oatmeal smoothie bowl with roasted coconut, banana, apple, and fresh mixed berries as toppings

This plant-based and protein-packed breakfast doesn’t rely on artificial protein powders. It is made with wholesome ingredients like oatmeal, almonds, and seeds and offers a delicious and natural way to fuel your morning. I enjoy eating this is the morning or after an intense workout because it keeps me full for a long time.

Ingredients

• 1 cup oatmeal

• 2 tablespoon flax seeds

• 2 tablespoon chia seeds

• 1/2 cup almonds

• 1 cup of coconut chunks

• 2 cups soy milk

• 1 cup frozen fruit (your choice)

• 1 ripe banana

• 1 tablespoon cacao powder

• 1 teaspoon honey

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. Soak: Combine the oatmeal, chia seeds, flax seeds, almonds, coconut, and soy milk in a bowl. Let them soak for about 10 minutes to soften and enhance digestibility.

2. Blend: Transfer the soaked ingredients into a blender. For a smoother blend, work in small batches. This mixture can be thick, so add more soy milk if needed.

3. Add Fruits & Flavorings: Once the base is smooth, add the frozen fruit, banana, cacao powder, honey, and vanilla extract. Blend until creamy and well-combined.

4. Serve: Pour the smoothie into a bowl and top with your favorite garnishes. I recommend roasted coconut, sliced banana, apple, and mixed berries for a burst of flavor and texture.
