Hot Chocolate Oatmeal?!?!

When you combine two of your favorite things, its bound to end fabulously. I mean seriously hot chocolate and oatmeal equates to comfort and love. This is a creamy and warming dish that will leave you extremely satisfied. Its also an amazing way to wake up, since sometimes that's a struggle. 😪 Anyhow, I know you guys really just want the recipe, so here it is!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of water
• 3/4 cup of almond milk
• 1 1/2 tbsp of cacao powder
• 5 dates (2-3 medjool dates) chopped
• Pinch of salt (1/8 tsp)
• 1 cup of oats
• 1 tbsp of flax seed

Directions:

1. Add the water, almond milk, cacao powder, dates and salt to a pot and bring the mixture to a boil (If you leave it at this, you got yourself some hot chocolate- for a smoother taste, blend it so all the date pieces are blended). 
2. Once the mixture is boiling, add the oats and flax seeds to the mix.
3. Continuously stir the mixture till the oats have thickened up to your desired consistency. You may add more almond milk if you like it less thick and more creamy. 
4. Now you can add your favorite toppings from peanut butter to berries to banana slices. 

Healthy Creamy Deliciousness 😋

Enjoy!!!

Chocolate Rawnola

I have to say, Im a pretty big chocolate and cereal fan. In fact, before I committed to this whole healthy lifestyle, cereal was what I ate EVERY SINGLE DAY. Because, it was easy, simple, and delicious. Sadly, they were also full of sugar and other in-explainable ingredients so I decided to give it up. I then happened upon Rawnola on YouTube and thought whoah I can make that and decided to create my own recipe! Here it is:


Ingredients:

• 1 cup of oats
• 1 cup of dates
• 1 tbsp of cacao powder
• 1/2 tsp of cinnamon 
• 1 tsp of chia seeds (optional)
• 1/8 cup of nuts of choice (optional)

Directions:

1. Just add all the ingredients and blend till a somewhat crumbly/sticky consistency is formed

Now you can add any of your favorite toppings-I like berries with chocolate- and add almond milk! Devour and Enjoy!
