Chocolate Egg-White Oats


Chocolate for breakfast? Hell yes! After an intense workout, it is vital to have a protein packed clean breakfast! I eat oats every day, and these chocolate oats are simple and delicious! 


THE STUFF:

1/2 cup (1 serving) of old fashioned oats

1 cup water

1 TBS chia seeds

1 TBS unsweetened cocoa powder

3 TBS liquid egg whites or 1 egg white

1/4 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt

1 banana, sliced

4 strawberries, sliced

6-8 raspberries

1 TBS goji berries


THE METHOD:

1. Follow instructions for the oats and choose method: stovetop or microwave. I make 1 serving on the stovetop. Bring water to a boil and once boiling, add oats, egg whites, cocoa powder, and chia seeds. 


2. Reduce to med-low heat and cook for 5 minutes or according to instructions/desired consistency. (For microwave you can throw it all in a bowl and cook on high for a few minutes stirring occasionally, but be careful of overflow.)


3. Top with Greek yogurt, bananas, fresh berries and goji berries.


You can top with any fruits you like! I don't like very sweet meals but you can sprinkle in a bit of natural sugar, like coconut sugar, if you prefer!! Enjoy!
