Why Karuna Silky-Oat?
KARUNA IS THE BIG SECRET TO DAIRY FREE PUMPKIN OATMEAL BAKE
This recipe is in collaboration with one of my favorite companies Karuna. They are an incredible prebiotic superfood beverage company that focuses on organic, Non GMO antioxidant, Prebiotic Fiber, clean protein, and nutrition ingredients.
SO WHAT IS THE BIG DEAL? AREN’T THEY JUST JUICE OR SMOOTHIES?
HARDLY. I don’t really give Ainsley juice that often, but whenever she asks for Karuna Juices I am all about it! Why?
+ Typical juice bought at the store can have up to 28grams of sugar in 8 fl, whereas 12fl of Karuna has 10 grams of sugar or less—plus that sugar is not added sugar
+ These juices and smoothies have 7 ingredients or less, with the only ingredients being clean, unrefined or processed
+Packed with a combination of whole plants—veggies & fruits, vitamins/antioxidants
+PLUS these silky oat flavors of banana pair SO well with the pumpkin and naturally sweeten this oatmeal bake so well!
Why You Should Be Team PUMPKIN During the Fall
Now it isn’t just because pumpkin goodies are SO good during the Fall ( which is so the case!) but its also because pumpkin goodies can be so good for you. Emphasis on the word can 🙂 The health benefits of the pumpkin in things like pumpkin cookies can be masked by all that added sugar. That is why this sweeter breakfast is sweet enough but not overloaded on sugar, while getting the benefits of the pumpkin too!
