I obsess over all things Nutella. When I decided yesterday to shake things up in the breakfast department. I try to eat lean protein portion at every meal. I don’t always have time to cook egg whites and turkey bacon, sometimes protein shakes don’t fill my growling belly long enough. Plus, this week all I can think about is chocolate.
Here’s my low guilt chocolate indulgence recipe.
1/2 cup old fashioned oats
1/2 cup skim milk
1/2 cup boiling water
1 tablespoon Nutella
1/2 scoop chocolate protein powder
****************************************************
Combine the oats, milk, and water in a small pan & cook for maybe 5 minutes (or until you get it a little soup-ier than your desired consistency).
Remove from heat. Add in a giant overflowing tablespoon of Nutella.
Stir it up. Add in 1/2 scoop of chocolate protein powder.
Stir it well. Add a tablespoon of milk if the powder looks at all pastey. (That’s why I leave the oats with a bit of extra liquid)
Serve!
Trust me, it tastes better than it looks!
It’s also a great PMS CURE post workout meal. Quick absorbing carbs + whey protein = fast muscle absorption. True dat.
I love Nutella too and this bowl of oats sounds so good! My other new obsession is Biscoff spread. If you like Nutella, you’d love it too!
You can put almost anything in oats and I’d love them…but make it something like Nutella and I’d be in loooove
Holy schmee. Nutella oatmeal! Now I nearly spit my coffee out. 😉
