Grain-free sweet zucchini breakfast bowl
Whether you’re looking to avoid grains, or just need a change from your go-to overnight oats - this breakfast bowl is a MUST try.
Made with zucchini, superfoods like flax and chia seeds, warming spices, and a bit of fruit - it’s full of nutritious whole foods and has a ton of flavor.
What I love most about it though, is that it’s incredibly sweet but contains no added sugar at all - just a small amount of natural sugars from one banana and a date. That’s it!
While the recipe below is delicious as is, you may wish to add hemp seeds for additional protein, a pinch of nutmeg for an even deeper, aromatic flavor, or an extra chopped date for even more sweetness!
Go ahead and give this one a try. I think you’re gonna love it!
