Decadent Chocolate Hazelnut Oats
Dessert for breakfast? Erm, yes please! If you’re like us at Lifebox and love the occasional sweet but healthy snack, this chocolately, nutty protein oatmeal recipe is the perfect cure for any sugar craving. Not only does it taste amazing, but it is also low in sugar, high in fibre and packed full of protein, making it a perfect option for those in need of a vegan snack and/or gluten-free snack.
Serves: 1
Ingredients
50g porridge oats (FROM YOUR LIFEBOX!)
1 tbsp cacao or cocoa powder
250ml almond milk or water
1 tbsp chocolate protein powder
Handful of hazelnuts, roughly chopped
1 square of 85 per cent dark chocolate, grated
Method
Combine the oats and cacao powder in a microwaveable bowl and then pour in the milk or water. Microwave for 2–3 minutes until cooked. Stir.
Add the protein powder and stir well, adding more milk or water if necessary.
Sprinkle the chopped nuts and grated chocolate on top before serving.
PS… The powder may be omitted entirely or substituted with extra cacao powder; though it will be less protein-rich.
