Oats, plan B breakfast when we're not feeling a smoothie. I'm glad I wasn't in the mood for a smoothie this particular morning when Jenn made Orange-Chocolate oats! We used
Navitas Naturals Raw Cacao Sweet Nibs, which are pretty much raw chocolate chips, yum! We love Navitas and how they make eating nutrient dense foods so simple and easy. Their
website is also extremely easy to use too, check it out! I think this is my new favourite breakfast. Why does chocolate go with pretty much everything? Except lemon...perhaps.
1 1/2 cups water
2/3 cups oats (Pure)
3 tbsp agave syrup or honey
2 tbsp
sweet cacao nibs
zest of one orange
1 tbsp ground flax seeds
Bring oats and water to a boil and simmer for about 10 minutes. Add in agave or honey, nibs, zest and flax seeds. Pour chocolate sauce on top. Indulge!
Chocolate sauce: we just threw together raw cacao powder, honey/agave, and water.
Oooo...I love orange and chocolate together! This sounds amazing, good enough for dessert!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome way to start the day. What a delicious-looking dish!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so perfect! I'm a pretty creative oatmealer, but I don't know if I would have thought of that. :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, I used to agree with you on the chocolate/lemon thing, until I tried one of these! http://www.veganlightchocolatenowhey.com/shop/lucious-lemon-creme
