HEALTHY PUMPKIN OATMEAL WITH NATURAL PROTEIN AND FATS

I’m always mindful about keeping the ratios of carbohydrates and protein grams as close as possible to avoid being hungry shortly after eating a dish like oatmeal. For this recipe I added Greek yogurt and chia seeds. I’m so please with the results; filling and tasty!

The pumpkin pie spice adds just the right amount of cinnamon-y Fall flavors! After the flavors blend together, divided the mixture up into jelly jars for a portable meal that you can grab on the go!
