1 Tbsp unsweetened coconut
1 Tbsp Chia seeds
1 Tbsp ground flax
1 Tbsp hemp hearts
3/4 cup coconut milk
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 tsp sweetener (or to taste)
cinnamon (optional)
I mix it together the night before and leave it in the fridge overnight. Heat in microwave the next morning. Yum! I'm going to make some now for tomorrow.
I'll give it a shot. Does that actually fill a bowl? Every other recipe I've tried basically makes a shot glass of food. I have all of those ingredients, though, so I can try it out.
LOL. I feel your pain. A quarter cup of ingredients...with 3/4 cup of milk so a bowl full of milk. <pouts> I've often written that I have started using smaller plates or even a small wide bowl for dinner. To me there is no such thing as a plateful or bowlful (unless they're tiny) for those of us who have a limited amount of calories and strictly adhere to calories and portion suggestion (like 2 cups of leafy greens) while eating more than 1 or two meals a day.0 -
I doubled the recipe last night except I kept it to 3/4 cup coconut milk and 1/2 cup of water. With my ingredients it worked out to under 450 calories and was a cereal bowl full. I ate half and found it enough. It seems like a small amount of ingredients but the chia seeds expand over night making it thick. I had my colleague try it today and she said she liked it better than real oatmeal. I hope you find your oatmeal replacement!1

I make chia seed pudding with blueberries, sugar free maple syrup, vanilla extract, almond milk, hemp hearts, mct oil, and cinnamon and the keto connect bread. I toast and butter the bread and dip it in the pudding. It reminds me a lot of oatmeal. But then again, I never really ate oatmeal, so I could be wrong. Tasty nonetheless.0
