I woke up this morning craving oats but didn't fancy my usual mix of almond milk and cinnamon, so I decided to use some of the raw cacao powder I brought from Victoria Market on Saturday and the rest of the frozen berries I had in the freezer, and it turned out pretty well.
This consisted of 1/2 cup of rolled oats, 1 cup of water, 1/2 cup of coco-quench rice milk (this stuff is amazing!) 1 tsp cacao powder, 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder (I've been using sunwarrior's new bend which is less grainier than their previous version) 1 tsp maca powder, 1tsp chia seeds stirred over a hob until it turns thick and creamy. To serve, I added a handful of frozen mixed berries, and they melted sightly while I left the oats to cool. I like to let my oats sit for a bit as I think the flavours come out more when slightly cooled. This was so good, I wanted to make another bowl but I forced myself to wait until the food actually made it to my tummy.
I think the protein powder adds an extra creaminess and thickness but I think you can get away with half a scoop as the coconut rice milk got a little bit lost. So next time I think less vanilla protein, more coconut rice milk and viola...you have a bounty-style breakfast porridge! Will try this again and see if it works!
