Healthy Baked Oats Recipe

recipes

Hey guys, welcome back! It’s been a while since I posted a new recipe so here is my latest obsession! Protein baked oats that take less than 10 mins, can be made in the microwave, and taste like banana bread. So here’s how you can make it…

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/2 cup oats
  • 1 banana
  • 1/2 scoop protein powder (I use Women’s Best Vegan Vanilla Protein)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup almond milk
  • 1/2 tsp of cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • Liquid Sweetener (I use WB’s sugar free syrup)
  • Toppings (optional)

STEPS

  1. Combine your oats, egg, almond milk, banana, protein powder, cinnamon, and baking powder in a blender until smooth.
  2. Pour the batter into a large mug (the batter shouldn’t exceed 3/4 of the mug)
  3. Cook in the microwave for 3 mins (depending on the level of your microwave) or you can also bake it in a muffin tin in the oven for 5-10 mins.
  4. Allow to cool, drizzle with sweetener of choice and top with anything you like. I chose almond butter, but you can also opt for berries anything you like.

I hope you enjoy this quick recipe, let me know down in the comments what you’d like to see next and please like and follow for more, xoxo.

Banana Coffee smoothie Recipe

healthy living

This simple recipe stemmed from my love of coffee and smoothies, it is vegan and gluten free. The flavour was exactly what I wanted, so if you’re tired of your usual smoothies and need a caffeine kick, give this a try. It can be a breakfast, snack or a pre-workout meal in my case, the best part is you can modify it by adding any vanilla protein powder you like.

I like adding cacao nibs and chia seeds at the end of making my smoothie because it adds fibre and nutrients, but also because I enjoy the texture. If simply drinking a smoothie is fine for you then you can omit this last step, but personally like the crunch.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 1/2 frozen banana
  • 1/2-1 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
  • 2 tsp instant coffee or 1 shot of espresso
  • 1 tsp cacao nibs or cacao powder
  • 1 tsp chia seeds
  • 1/2-1 Scoop protein powder (I used Organifi’s Vanilla)

STEPS:

  1. Blend frozen bananas, coffee, almond milk, protein powder and cacao nibs in a powerful blender. (I used my nutribullet)
  2. Pulse your blender if needed.
  3. Pour in a glass and mix in the chia seeds.
