Here’s a delicious and nutritious breakfast. Banana oatmeal with fresh berries! This has become my new favorite go-to breakfast. ⁣
⁣
𝘈𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢 𝘴𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘵𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯? I am for sure. I find that adding the banana in the mix instead of as a topping, you really don’t need to add additional sweeteners to your oatmeal. Although, I did sprinkle some vanilla coconut sugar on top just for fun, for the gram! :) ⁣
⁣
𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼: ⁣
⁣
* Mash a banana with a fork. ⁣
* Add approximately 1/2 to 3/4 cup of almond milk or other plant milk. ⁣
* Mix to combine. ⁣
* Add spices if you want. I added a dash or two of cinnamon. ⁣
* Stir in 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats. ⁣
* Cook on the stove top or microwave 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Stop and stir half way through. ⁣
⁣
𝘕𝘰𝘵𝘦: I added a tablespoon of @so_delicious coconut creamer too for some extra creamy goodness. ⁣
⁣

Top with peanut butter or other seed or nut butter drizzle if you like.

Chickpeas or garbanzo beans are such a versatile vegan food. They can take on so many different textures. This is my favorite go-to lunch! ⁣

𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴: ⁣
⁣
- Serve with sliced green apple and sliced carrots. ⁣
- Make a closed or open-faced sandwich. I like toasted @foodforlifebaking Ezekiel bread with sliced tomatoes.⁣
- Make romaine lettuce boats. Just scoop some chickpea salad onto a romaine lettuce leaf - so good and refreshing.⁣
- Serve with corn chips as a “dip.”⁣
- Serve on rice cakes⁣
⁣
NOTE: I was being lazy AF today so added just chopped apples, red pepper, and dry dill. It was still delicious! ⁣

Have you honed your banana bread baking skills? Raise your hand if you've made banana bread more than 6 times during the quarantine. Do you have a favorite banana bread recipe yet? ⁣
⁣
🍌 I am still working on mine. Have been making modifications to tried and true recipes. This is my latest, recipe from @rainbowplantlife. You can find it on her IGTV and website. ⁣
