Coconut kefir muesli (My Fav) 

 

• Can easily be taken on-the-go, simply make it in a jar instead of a bowl!
• Bran granola is an excellent source of fibre, with up to 10 grams per ½ cup
• Nuts and seeds add plenty of natural protein to the meal

 

Ingredients:

 

• ½ cup of granola or bran cereal (I prefer ones that have nuts and dried fruits, I find those more filling)
• ½ cup of Revitasize coconut kefir (unsweetened is my favourite; also available in chocolate or vanilla)
• Handful of blackberries (or any berries of your choice)
• 1 tbsp raw, hulled pepita seeds (also known as pumpkin seeds)
• 1 diced dried fig
• Hanful of nuts

 

Compile and enjoy!

 

The Peanut-Hemp protein puck

Here’s the thing with these pucks: They are incredible, delicious, and very easy on-the-go.

The peanut hemp puck contains 17 grams of protein! Perfect as a workout snack

A great pairing to the puck is a nut-mylk latte or a chai!

 

Quick-oats cereal

 

This one is for you cereal lovers. That feeling of fresh, cold milk and chewy grains simply cannot be replaced, and it doesn’t have to be.

 

• ⅔ cup rolled oats (gluten-free if necessary)
• ½ - ¾ cup fresh nut mylk
• Handful of berries and nuts

 

It’s easy as oats, mylk, berries, nuts!

 

 

 

Apple-cinnamon oatmeal with peanut butter

 

• Oats are very high in dietary fibre and even higher in natural, vegan protein, making oatmeal a super filling breakfast!

Ingredients:

 

• ½ cup large flake oats (gluten-free if necessary)
• ¼ cashew mylk (or any nut mylk of your choice)
• ¼ cup applesauce
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• ½ granny smith apple, diced
• Splash of maple syrup
• Handful of nuts and seeds

 

Directions:

 

1. Mix mylk, applesauce, and cinnamon in a blender or well-blend manually in a bowl.
2. In a small pot, combine the liquid mixture and oats on medium heat.
3. Mix gently and cover for 1-2 minutes, mixing with a wooden spoon every 25-30 seconds.
4. If dry, add 1-2 tbsp of mylk and keep mixing for another 30 seconds.
5. Pour the oatmeal into a bowl and top with diced apple, nuts and seeds of your choice.
6. Add a few splashes of maple syrup and top with powdered cinnamon!

 

Enjoy alongside a vegan latte or tea!
