Hearty Steel Cut Oats 2 Cups milk (almond milk, soymilk, rice milk, etc)
1 Cup Steel Cut Oats
1 Apple, chopped
1/2 Cup walnuts or almonds, chopped
1 Tbs. Earth's Balance Buttery Spread
1/4 Cup sweetener (molasses or pure maple syrup)
3/4 tsp. Cinnamon
1/4 tsp. Sea Salt
1/2 Cup Raisins (optional)
Mix ingredients well and add to greased crock pot. Cover. Before bed, turn crock pot on low setting. Serves 4
*I like to pour almond milk over my oats when I eat them
Unlike quick oats, steel cut oats don't get "gluey" if you store them as leftovers. I make this once a week or so and then I can reheat it for four of my breakfasts! I love that I don't get hungry again until close to lunch time.
Green Smoothies
- heaping 1/4 Cup Peaceful Planet Supreme Meal soy-free vegan protein shake
- 1 Cup Almond Milk
- 1/2 Cup Mixed Berries, frozen
- 1 Banana
- large handful Fresh Spinach
- 1 tsp. psyllium fiber
- 1 tsp. sweetener (pure maple syrup, brown rice syrup, etc)
Add all ingredients to blender and blend until smooth. Drink soon after blending, especially if you add psyllium fiber because it thickens if it sits too long. I know the spinach sounds gross, but you can't even taste it - what an easy way to get more greens!
*I'd had smoothies from the health food store or the gym that had spinach in them, but it hadn't occurred to me to add spinach into my shakes at home until my friend posted about smoothies on her blog - and I'm lovin' it! Thanks, Dara :D
