A Warm Breakfast Dish made from Berries, Oatmeal, Chocolate, and Almonds for crunch!
So what happens when you start craving something? You turn on The Bachelorette and distract yourself. No just kidding! I have been craving oatmeal lately so I can’t wait any longer to share this next recipe, it’s filled with sweetness.
My nutritionist says it’s better to eat less of the gluten as possible, so I bought the gluten-free oatmeal and surprising I don’t really see the difference in taste between regular and gluten-free oatmeal, so gluten-free it is.
Oatmeal is a great energy booster and provides you with a good source of potassium and calcium to boost heart health also.
Berries are good for your digestive health because it contains lots of fiber.
As for the chocolate, did you know it boosts your mood? This whole recipe is full of so much goodness!
This berry oatmeal with chocolate and almonds is perfect to start your day (or munch on while catching up on The Bachelorette). It’s simple to make, and it will fill you up with no guilt attached.
Benefits of Dark Chocolate
The darker the chocolate the less sugar it has. I didn’t know this till recently when I received a chocolate bar that said no sugar! And the darker the chocolate the more energy-boosting potential it has.
Dark chocolate, that is 70% or more contains iron, magnesium, copper, and fiber. It is great for boosting some energy since dark chocolate has caffeine and theobromine, both of which will boost your energy levels. This is great for someone who eating a sugar-free diet!
