Papaya Porridge Bowl with Dark Chocolate, Coconut Yogurt & Hemp Seeds
Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup oats
- 1 tsp chia seeds
- 1/2 tsp psyllium husk
- 1 scoop collagen
- 1/2 scoop protein powder (or reduce the full scoop to fit macros)
- 1 ripe papaya (optional)
- 1 square dark chocolate
- 1/8 cup frozen raspberries
- 1 tbsp coconut yogurt
- 1/2 tsp hemp seeds
- 1 tsp almond butter
Instructions:
- Prepare the porridge: In a bowl, combine oats, chia seeds, and psyllium husk. Pour hot water over the mixture, just enough to cover it, and let it sit for a minute to absorb.
- Cook the porridge: Stir in the collagen and protein powder, and cook the mixture for 1 minute on the stove. Add more water if needed to reach your desired consistency.
- Prepare the papaya: (Optional) Cut the papaya in half lengthwise, scoop out the seeds, and set the papaya halves aside. These will be your serving bowls.
- Assemble the bowl: Scoop the warm porridge into the hollow of each papaya half, or into a regular bowl if skipping the papaya.
- Melt the chocolate: Place the dark chocolate square on top of the warm porridge and let it melt slightly.
- Top with raspberries and yogurt: Sprinkle the frozen raspberries around, add a small dollop of coconut yogurt, and drizzle with almond butter.
- Finish with a sprinkle: Finally, scatter the hemp seeds on top.
