This oatmeal is a nutritious way to start your day. It combines the creamy texture of oats with the nutty flavor of hemp seeds. Plus, it’s packed with protein, fiber, and healthy fats to keep you full and energized.
Directions
Bring the water and apple cider to a boil in a medium pot. Once it’s bubbling, stir in the oats, lower the heat, and let it cook gently, stirring now and then, for about 3 minutes. Then, add the chopped apple, cinnamon, and a splash of vanilla extract. Keep stirring gently as it cooks until the oats and apples are nice and tender, which should take another 3 minutes or so. Take the pot off the heat, then stir in the hemp milk and sprinkle in the hemp seeds. Give everything a good mix and serve warm.
