But as the cooler weather of fall and winter set in here in Michigan I like something hot. So I make this Porridge type cereal.
Here is the recipe:
Ingredients:
1/4 cup of Gluetin-Free Ground Flax Meal
2 Scoops Vanilla *Arbonne Protein Powder
Cinnamon to taste.
Hot water - amount will depend on how thick or thin you want your cereal.
*Blanched Almonds or Pumpkin seeds.
1/4 cup of Canned Pumpkin
Instructions:
Boil water. In a bowl, combine Flax Meal, Protein Powder and Cinnamon. Add boiling water and stir till thick paste forms. Add pumpkin. This is where you need to adjust as desired. I like mine like a thick oatmeal. Make sure you dig deep from the bottom to get all the dry ingredients mixed in.
When desired consistency add Almonds.
*I like to use Arbonne Protein Powder. It is whey free, dairy free, Non-GMO, gluetin free, certified Vegan, only has 7 grams of cane sugar (The same amount in a green apple) and has a ton of vitamins in it. And best of all, it tastes AMAZING!!!
*Blanched Almonds are easily digested, are better for you and taste great. Adding them last will keep them from getting too soft as they are already soft and I like the crunch.
*Only use Pumpkin when in season, when it is not, omit and add another ingredient, like dried cranberries or raisins.
