Hey Cynthia!!! (fit44)

OMG!!

OMG!!

I put chocolate in my oatmeal this morning.

I added some vanilla extract, dried cherries, walnuts, and agave nectar, and then I threw in about a tablespoon of dark chocolate chips.

I felt so naughty!
Every bite was like a party in my mouth!

And it went so well with my coffee!!


I... I love you!

You're so funny Michelle!
What a cheery post!!


I'm so glad you enjoyed it. It's my favorite breakfast

You made my day, you sweet lady!

 

[Miss Lee]

YOU made my day!!

BTW, what kind of chocolate do you put in your oatmeal, and how much? Do you put anything else in it?

 

[fit44]

Michelle, you crack me up

I use nestle's mini chocolate chips (about a tablespoon full) and Whey Low
http://www.wheylow.com/Default.asp?Redirected=Y

I've been using Whey low for several years. It's very close to sugar in texture and taste. I use it to bake too.
I'll throw in some chopped walnuts

If I'm cutting/ counting calories, I use a tablespoon of sugar free/fat free chocolate pudding in my oatmeal. It's only 30 cals

I view my chocolate oatmeal as a treat for the day. It certainly tastes like it! If I'm fighting really bad cravings and feel like I'm going to lose control, I go for the chocolate oatmeal. I would much rather have an extra serving of the oats than an oreo cookie

Figure Athlete forum recommends trying raw oats with chocolate soy milk or chocolate Hoods Calorie Countdown milk- cold. They say you'll reach for cold oats more often than warm. Apparently it's that good. I'm haven't tried it. I love melting the chocolate in the warm

Could you please post the recipe. I want to join the party!!!

I add chocolate protein powder & 1 Tablespoon of Naturally More PB to my oatmeal. I think it tastes like a PB cup!!

Do you make your own oatmeal or you use the pre-made ones?

Count me in as a lover of dark chocolate chips on the top of oatmeal!!

Other combos I love on oatmeal:

bananas and a drizzle of sugar-free maple syrup (sometimes walnuts too!)

Chopped apple and cinnamon & SF maple syrup

Strawberries & dark chocolate chips

I use 1/2 c. old fashioned oatmeal & add 1 cup of water to make it. Cook for about 2 min in the micro, then add 1/2 scoop choc. protein powder + 1 T. NM PB. I also add 1 T. flax, 1 T. wheat germ, and some cottage cheese, but I'm weird.
