GINGERBREAD PROTEIN OATS

GINGERBREAD PROTEIN OATS

Vegan, gluten-free, paleo-friendly

With all the warming spices, this oats meal brings to mind the old-fashioned gingerbread and it’s a nourishing way to start your day esp. on a cold rainy day! The blue colour comes from Butterfly Pea Powder which is completely optional. I have been adding hemp seeds to my morning porridge because I love their nutty taste, plus they are packed with plant protein, healthy fats and minerals – giving you sustaining energy for the day!
