I love this recipe because I am always looking to get more veggies in my own diet but also in the daily diets of my clients. Getting veggies in for breakfast seems to be such a challenge but this is a fun and delicious way to make it happen.
You can pre-make each bowl for the week or prep the ingredients and then make it each day! Either way enjoy the chocolate deliciousness and the joy of getting in more veggies even for breakfast!
INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 cup zucchini “riced”, finely grated, or processed until pretty smooth (100 g)
- 1/3 cup cup old fashioned oats (I used GF) (30 g)
- 1/2 scoop chocolate protein powder (15 g)*
- 1 tsp dark cocoa powder (5 g)
- 1 tbsp Califia Farms almond milk creamer- all flavors are good! (15 g)**
- 1 tsp mini chocolate chips (5 g)
- Pinch of salt
- Stevia to taste*
INSTRUCTIONS
-
Mix everything in a large cereal bowl and microwave for about 2 minutes. Give it a good stir and microwave for another 1-2 minutes. Top with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
-
I love mine drizzled with a little more cashew milk, then topped with some dairy-free whipped cream, some berries or bananas, and of course a little nut butter.
NOTES
Protein: This is delicious with the brownie batter protein by CSE (whey), or the chocolate by Active Stacks (beef, which means non-dairy.) Feel free to experiment with whatever you’ve got!
Creamer: Feel free to just use your favorite milk or nut milk. It’s just 1 tbsp so the macros will hardly change regardless.
Dairy and Gluten Free: I use GF oats from Trader Joe’s or Bobs, and the Active Stacks Beef protein powder to make this both gluten and dairy free.
