minutesEasy and delicious way to eat your oats in the morning!
If you’re tired of eating your oats the same way, then try this combination. Lemon zesty flavor combined with poppy seeds is so flavorful and cozy. I always add veggies to every oatmeal to decrease calories and to sneak in veggies. Feel free to omit cauliflower rice if you don’t want to or add in a scoop of vanilla protein powder if you want to boost the protein content.

1 tsp lemon zest
1 tbsp. poppy seeds (or add 1 tsp for less fat & calories)
- Toppings:
1 scoop vanilla protein powder (Optional, I didn’t add any to this recipe)

2-3 tbsp. plant based low fat yogurt (I used oats)
2/3 cup fresh strawberries (or use any other fruit of your choice)
1 banana
