Nothing says fall more than this protein-packed Pumpkin Chai Spiced Oatmeal, gluten free and vegan!
If you are like me and you bake with pumpkin, there is almost always a little leftover in the can. What to do with it? Here is one simple way to incorporate it into your breakfast with this Pumpkin Chai Spiced Oatmeal.
When fall comes, I definitely eat more oatmeal, like this Steel Cut Apple Oats or these Overnight Steel Cut Oatmeal.
However, nothing says fall like Pumpkin Chai! It’s a simple oatmeal recipe, but I made it a little more protein-rich by adding some vegan Chai protein powder.
Arbonne’s Chai protein powder is a seasonal, limited edition flavor. It has the same high standards as the rest of the Arbonne products- formulated vegan, gluten-free, and free of over 2,000 harmful ingredients! There are 20 grams of easy to digest plant-based protein (that’s 20 grams in 2 scoops) and it’s free from artificial colors, flavors, additives.
So what is the protein made from? It is a blend of pea, rice and cranberry protein and comes in 2 other flavors- chocolate and vanilla. We use this protein powder in our daily smoothies as well energy bites. Let me tell you, I was not a big fan of protein powder before, but I love this one!
This limited edition flavor can order from my website >>here. If I had to chose one flavor, I would probably go with vanilla for it’s versatility but we like them all. If you have any questions, just send me an email. In order to get the best price all year long, you’ll want to sign up as a Preferred Client which is a $29 annual fee. Think of it like a Costco membership, but for Arbonne goodies.
I’ll let you in on a secret, I enjoyed the second bowl of leftover cold oats almost more than the hot ones, so you can always make this a meal prep item.
It’s almost here guys, that wonderful, cozy fall season!

Such tempting and delicious pictures of oatmeal with chia seeds. I’ve recently gotten into chia seeds and I love the crunch they add to my yogurt. I’ll try them with oatmeal as it gets cooler! Beautiful photography!
I saved this recipe to my Yumprint cookbook. Can’t wait to try it as Chai and pumpkin are two of my favorite fall flavor combos.
