Make It More Filling
The base bowl works on its own. These are optional add-ins you can use when you want it to be more filling or better fit what you need for the day.
- Hemp hearts - stir in with the dry ingredients.
- Sunflower seeds - stir in with the dry ingredients or add on top in the morning.
- PB2 or peanut butter - PB2 mixes best with the dry ingredients. Peanut butter can be stirred in after the soy milk or added on top in the morning.
- Chopped Brazil nut - chop and add when prepping so it is ready in the morning.
- Protein powder - if you already use it, mix it with the dry ingredients before adding soy milk. Add extra soy milk as needed.
