Fauxmeal (Grain-free Oatmeal, “N’ Oatmeal,” Paleo)
FAUXMEAL (GRAIN-FREE OATMEAL, "N'OATMEAL," PALEO)
I love to make big batches of this “fauxmeal” and leave it in the fridge to always have an easy blood-sugar balancing snack option ready to-go! This is SO good with yogurt on top, plus some grain free granola and blueberries, of course! Tasty, easy and healthy!
This recipe targets:
Blood-Sugar Balance | Grain-Free | Dairy-Free | Paleo Friendly
One of my main focuses with food is keeping my blood-sugar balanced. Chia seeds are high in healthy fats, fiber, and protein, so if I want to go for a breakfast/lunch/dinner dessert, this is going to be it! Adding blueberries on top makes it a sweet treat, but without sending my blood-sugar places it shouldn’t go!
Ingredient list
1 cup coconut milk
2 tablespoons of ground flax seeds
2 tablespoons of chia seeds
1 tablespoon of hemp seeds
1 scoop of vanilla protein (I use the one by Be Well By Kelly, discount code MADDIE!)
Optional: Pinch of sea salt
Optional: Dash of vanilla extract
Optional: Handful of frozen cauliflower rice (can’t taste it!)
Optional: A sprinkle of psyllium husk powder or almond flour (adds to oatmeal like texture + adds fiber)
Optional: Lucuma powder

Steps
Step 1
Mix all ingredients in a saucepan. Make sure you stir well! Stirring it right off the bat helps to make sure that the chia seeds don’t all clump together. I find that using a whisk to stir it up works best!
Step 2
Heat until thickened ~5 minutes or so
Step 3
If you want to take your blending next level, feel free to use an immersion blender to get everything extra creamy and mixed! Otherwise, just continue to use the whisk until it appears to be well incorporated.
Step 4
Time to serve! This is such a cozy treat served warm, but you can also keep it in the refrigerator and eat it cold like a parfait! Next is the fun part — toppings! To make it a blueberry parfait, I love to use fresh blueberries, non-dairy yogurt, and a grain-free granola. But make it your own! Other ideas could be fresh raspberries or blackberries, almond/peanut/nut butter of choice, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etc. The sky is the limit!
