A good for you recipe that tastes like you’re eating dessert for breakfast.
Good morning!
Last minute change of plans. I had every intention of sharing an awesome feels-so-good stretch routine. Then, I received a very convincing email asking for a short morning specific stretch routine. And, since that very thing is on my to-blog list I decided to go with ooey gooey chocolate goodness today and a stretch routine some time next week. Sound good?
Chocolate yumminess and good for you? Life doesn’t get any better than that!
Make this tonight and have it for breakfast tomorrow. If you’re a chocolate fan, I promise you’re going to love the gooey goodness of this recipe.
Enjoy a breakfast that tastes like dessert, is high in protein, gluten free and delicious.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup gluten free rolled oats
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 2 ozs plain yogurt
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 tablespoon agave nectar
- 1 scoop Skoop B-Strong vanilla protein powder
- 1 tablespoon walnuts, chopped
- 1/2 tablespoon dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Combine the milk, oats, yogurt, cocoa powder and agave in a bowl or jar and mix well.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- To serve, stir and top with walnuts, chocolate chips and a dollop of plain yogurt (optional)
- Serve cold or warm (if serving warm add the toppings after the oats have been warmed in the microwave).

I would love to chat.
What is your favorite chocolate recipe? Would you serve the overnight oats cold or warm? Topped with yogurt, yay or nay?
be the best version of YOU,

February 1, 2017 at 1:23 pmI’ll eat them both warm or cold – it just depends on how I feel that day. Sometimes a warm bowl of oatmeal is exactly what I need 🙂

July 24, 2016 at 8:48 pmThis looks heavenly! I am definitely more of a warm oatmeal person, and as for yogurt… Maybe on the side. This is definitely on my “to-make” list. I am getting a little bored with my plain oats and cinnamon.

Sue @ This Mama Runs for Cupcakes says
October 30, 2015 at 3:22 pmI have yet to try overnight oats. Texture is kind of a big deal for me so I worry that it would be too mushy. I really need to try it and figure it out! This does look yummy!
