Djoe's Spicy-Chocolate Protein Oatmeal
I love chocolate and I love the chili so I thought why not combine the smoothness of chocolate with the fierceness of chili into one explosive marriage of flavors? And guess what? The result turned out phenomenal. Not just that. It's all perfectly healthy.
What makes this so good?
- It is a perfect nutrient-dense powerhouse.
- The chocolate taste with chili is just divine.
- As with all my recipes, it's easy to prepare.
Ingredients
- 4 table-spoons of oats
- 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 125 ml non-fat cow milk (or almond milk)
- 1 tsp red chilli powder
- 3/4 tsp of cinnamon
- 1 scoop of protein powder (chocolate or vanilla flavor)
- 1 scoop of low-fat vanilla ice cream (optional)
- 1 tbsp of calorie-free chocolate syrup (or melt a square of dark chocolate)
Directions
1- Place the oats and milk in a non-stick pot and bring them to a boil then simmer for about 4 minutes until you get a thick consistency. Alternatively, you can cook in the microwave for 1 minute, take out, stir, then place again in the microwave for another minute. If mixture gets too dry, add a tiny little bit of more milk.
2- Place the oatmeal in a bowl and let it cool for a minute before adding the rest o the ingredients and stirring until they completely dissolve. Make sure to taste your oatmeal and adjust the chili according to your taste. You don't want it to be overpowering!
3- Add a scoop of low-fat, sugar-free ice cream and top with some calorie-free chocolate sauce.
4- Voila! Time to devour that deliciousness! It makes for a perfectly nutritious breakfast!
