I have a confession. I’ve stopped having smoothies for breakfast. GASP! SAY WHA?! I know… I don’t even know who I am anymore…
A few of you may have seen me and my new breakfast love on instagram. I even mentioned him once on the blog. A number of you even asked me how to make my beloved breakfast for yourself. As much as I’d love to keep him all to my lonesome, I know my dear breakfast wants to spread the love. I need to let him spread his wings and share his deliciousness with all of you. So, with a heavy heart (and a full tummy), I will share him with you. Allow your heart to flutter and your mouth to water over these Brownie Protein Oats.
What I love so dearly about my dear Brownie Protein Oats is how simple he is. Just three ingredients, and yet so packed with yumminess. Sometimes I forget what a simpleton he is…
You start with just oats and water. Then mix in some chocolate protein powder. That’s it. You could stop there, but I like to dress him up a bit. Don him with banana slices and scoop of almond butter. He looks so good doused in almond butter.
We enjoy each others’ company over a cup of coffee and a good magazine. Oh how I love our breakfast dates.
I have no doubt you’ll love my dear Brownie Protein Oats just as much as I do. Please treat him well.
Can’t wait for my #breakfast date with these Brownie Protein Oats. I think I’m in love. #recipe
