Coconut-Berry Overnight TVP “Oats”
I came up with this recipe because there were so many Instagram posts of overnight oatmeal that basically made me want to eat my phone. So, threw this together and I’ve been obsessed ever since. MUST TRY. The TVP (textured vegetable protein) provides more protein and crunch than oatmeal. Please excuse the picture- its not the greatest. I always eat it way to quickly before I realize I should take a picture! This recipe is very versatile. I’ve even eaten it only after an hour of letting it sit in the fridge. It’s a little crunchier and reminds me of Fruity Pebbles cereal! Just SO good.
Top left are my Oreo Protein Pancakes- perfecting the recipe but I think I’ll have it ready for posting by tomorrow! Top right is my Pecan-Crusted Flounder over Sweet Potato “Risotto” (made with cauliflower rice) with mushrooms and peppers. Bottom right is a salad I threw together with roasted brussel sprouts and bell peppers, a vegetarian sausage link, tomatoes, cucumbers, edamame, feta, avocado, and sweet potato “croutons”. The croutons were born from a sweet potato waffle accident. The waffles came out too soft so I threw it under the broiler to crisp them up. Cut them into smaller square pieces and BOOM- sweet potato croutons!
