Plant eaters don't get enough protein, the classic question right? Well, my friend, it's not true (wow didn't expect that XD). Aside from beans and tofu etc, did you know about PULLED OATS? These babies contain 30g(!) of protein per serving, so my dude, if you want to boost your protein intake, this got you covered! Served with other protein rich veggies like broccoli, green beans and black rice, this makes a delicious meal!
🌱Ingredients (2 portions:
◾️ 120g (dry) black rice
◾️ 1 package of pulled oats
◾️ Z'atar spices
◾️ 1 tbsp Avocado oil
◾️ Salt & black pepper
◾️ 1 avocado
◾️ 150g broccoli
◾️ 200g green beans
◾️ 100g cherry tomatoes
◾️ 2 sweet red bell peppers
◾️ 1/2 cucumber 🥒
◾️ 3 tbsp garlic olive oil (olive oil + garlic works too)
◾️ 1 lemon
◾️ 2 tbsp pumpkin seeds
👩🏻🍳Method:
Preheat the oven to 180C. Cut the red bell peppers into long strips (aka half them and deseed them). Cut the broccoli into florets and wash them as well as the green beans.
Toss the veggies on a baking sheet with parchment paper and drizzle the garlic olive oil, salt & black pepper on top. Let this bake for 20 minutes.
In the mean time, cook black rice acccording to package instructions.
Heat up avocado oil in a pan and add the pulled oats, salt, black pepper, z'atar spices to taste and cook for 2 minutes. Add the cooked black rice in as well and let it cook for another 3 minutes until all the flavours are combined. Lastly add in the cherry tomatoes.
Time to serve! Add the black rice/pulled oats mixture in a bowl, then the roasted veggies, top with 1/2 avocado & 1 tbsp pumpkin seeds, 1/2 lemon and enjoy!
