This recipe is satiating and extremely tasty, which is perfect for prep because the longer you stay full the better! I eat oatmeal every single morning, it’s one of my non-negotiables that helps me stick to my diet.

INGREDIENT FACTS & BENEFITS:

Rolled oats: Oats are a great source of dietary fiber called beta-glucan and complex carbohydrates to help keep you satiated and regulated. Eating foods that keep you full may help lower your calorie intake and lose weight if that’s your goal. Oats are loaded with important vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.

Vegan Protein: There are many sources of vegan protein, but to give you an idea I’ll list some now.. pea, pumpkin seed, hemp, quinoa, whole grains, soy, seitan, TVP, chia seeds, flax seeds.. I think you get the idea! Not all vegan proteins are complete proteins. Soy is one of the few plant-based proteins that contain all 9 essential amino acids, vegan protein powders contain complementary protein blends to create a complete protein. You can recieve all 9 essential amino acids by having a well balanced vegan diet.

Chia seeds: These tiny seeds are high in soluble fiber, protein, omega-3 fatty acids and loaded with micronutrients! Chia seeds can absorb 10 times their weight in water due to their high soluble fiber content, expanding in your stomach to help keep you full and lower your calorie intake. Eating foods that are higher in protein can help lower your appetite. Chia seeds are higher ALA omega-3s. Our body has a hard time converting ALA into EPA and DHA, if you are vegan/vegetarian it’s highly encouraged that you supplement with plant-sourced EPA and DHA.

Hemp hearts: Hemp seeds also referred to as hemp hearts are rich in healthy fats, protein and other micronutrients. Hemp hearts come from the Cannabis Sativa L plant, but contain trace levels of the psychoactive compound THC, so unfortunately you aren’t getting high. Hemp hearts contain omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Hemp seeds are a complete protein and contain all 9 essential amino acids and packed with micronutrients such as magnesium, which helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels. A healthy omega-3 to omega-6 intake can help prevent many diseases, including cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.
