Trader Joe’s Kale Crunch Salad

I went into my local Aldi’s and saw a poor and unhealthy version of a kale crunch salad. I decided to do my own rendition and it came out perfect.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups kale, chopped

• 1 cup purple cabbage, chopped

• 1 cup green cabbage, chopped

• 1 cup Brussels sprouts, chopped

• 1 cup broccoli, chopped

• 1 avocado, diced

• 1/2 cup Mary's Gone Crackers, crushed

• 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

• 1/4 cup walnuts, chopped

• Your favorite salad dressing, for drizzling

Instructions:

1. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the oats, coconut milk, chia seeds, cacao powder, plain yogurt, protein powder (or additional yogurt and maple syrup), vanilla extract, almond extract, maple syrup, cinnamon, and sea salt.

2. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.

3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours.

4. In the morning, give the oats a good stir and transfer to a serving bowl.

5. Top with 1/4 cup of plain yogurt, a drizzle of honey, blueberries, sliced banana, chopped walnuts, and cacao nibs.

6. Enjoy your delicious and nutritious overnight oats!
