After the holiday months of platters of cookies, mounds of fudge, and piles of chocolates, my body is really just craving vegetables at the moment. I feel like the Grinch after he’s done serving as the judge of the fudge and the Who Pudding Cookoff.
Instead of a New Year’s resolution of eliminating anything from my diet, I chose to focus on the goal of eating more foods that make my body feel good. For me, that means lots of plant-based proteins, fresh fruits and vegetables, and whole grains balanced with donuts and cupcakes that make my tummy feel happy too.
That said, this vegan carrot cake yogurt bowl is a great way to get in some vegan protein and up that vegetable intake.
Why You'll Love This Recipe
- You’re adding vegetables, and in this case a good source of vitamin A and beta-carotene, to your breakfast.
- This meal gets protein from your yogurt and walnuts, so you feel fuller longer.
- You can make this meal quickly for a fast breakfast option when you’re running behind or you can meal prep it and grab it on-the-go as you head out the door.
- What are your recommended vegan yogurts? I like the Silk Greek yogurts and Oui coconut-based vanilla.
- Can I substitute another nut in place of the walnuts? I believe you could sub most nuts in this recipe just fine. Pecans, almonds, and pistachios would all work well. Pepitas (pumpkin seeds) and sunflower seeds would also make a great substitution for somebody looking for a nut-free variation.
