This is one my go-to breakfasts in my repetoire,
especially during the winter.
It’s creamy, crunchy and warming, filling, energizing AND delicious!
And who doesn’t love eating chocolate in the morning?! P.S this type of chocolate is derived straight from the cacao bean (no sugar added)- just the goodness from the bean.
Benefits:
Oats- high in fiber, heart healthy, filling, stabilizes blood sugar (so you’re not starving for lunch)
Almond Milk- creamy, tad bit of protein
Cacao Nibs- high in antioxidants, energizing and crunchy.
What you need:
1/2 cup Organic Rolled Oats
1 cup Almond Milk (Unsweetened)
1 tbs cacao nibs
vanilla extract (Optional)
Cinnamon (optional)
Almonds (optional)
Directions:
1. Bring almond milk to a boil. Stir in oats. Cook for about 5 minutes over medium heat or until thickened.
2. Pour into bowl and top with cacao nibs. Voila!
The cacao nibs add energy and crunch, the oats give you a dose of fiber and the cinnamon helps spice it up and made it taste a tad sweet.
P.S. If you want to make it sweeter, add some vanilla extract, maple syrup, raw honey or coconut palm sugar and feel free to top with any nuts for a dose of protein and good-for-your skin fat.
