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!
