PUMPKIN SPICE NOATMEAL (grain free, refined sugar free, vegan, low fodmap paleo)

What’s in this noatmeal?

Pumpkin

• Pumpkin is subtle, but especially delicious when enhanced with the right spices. It has many vitamins and minerals including Vitamin C, Vitamin E, potassium, beta-carotene, calcium, and magnesium.

Chia seeds

• Full of fiber, chia seeds aid digestion and support blood sugar balance. They are a great source of magnesium, phosphorus, calcium, iron, niacin and thiamin.

Hemp hearts

• Hemp seeds are packed with protein, high in Omega-3s, magnesium, thiamin, iron, potassium.

Ground flaxseed

• Flaxseed meal promotes digestion and is a great source of antioxidants, insoluble fiber and healthy Omega-3 fatty acids.

Pumpkin seeds

• High in protein (9 grams per serving) and healthy fats, pumpkin seeds can reduce inflammation, boost immunity, and improve mental clarity. Additional nutrients are iron, magnesium, manganese, zinc, and fiber. It’s ideal to eat your nuts and seeds soaked / sprouted. I love these.

Ingredients (makes 1 serving)

• 1 cup unsweetened plant-based milk

• 2 tablespoon chia seeds

• 2 tablespoons hemp hearts

• 1 tablespoon flax meal

• 1/4 cup, canned unsweetened organic pumpkin

Optional topping ideas:
