This bowl is packed with plant-based protein and wholesome carbohydrates that will produce stable blood sugars and give you sustained energy for the rest of your day.

Instructions
- To a sauce pot add oats, milk, cinnamon, vanilla and salt and bring to a boil. Once boiling, stir and reduce heat to medium. Cover and let cook for 15 minutes or until oats have absorbed liquid and are tender. Stir oats frequently to prevent them from sticking to the bottom and burning. *If your oats have absorbed all the liquid and are still not cooked through, add another 1/4 cup of milk and continue cooking. Do this until they are cooked through.
- Once oats are done, add them to a bowl and top with 1/2 cup berries, 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, 1/4 cup pecans and a drizzle of honey. Enjoy!
