Chocolate Maca Porridge

This is a lovely little oatmeal dish. Full of great things like cacao, maca powder, chia and flax seeds! It is super easy and fast to make. It tastes sweet enough to be fun, but healthy enough to enjoy for breakfast. Top it off with some bananas and cranberries and you are golden.


Ingredients:

1/4c oatmeal (quick oat is preferable, unless you pre-soak!)
1 tbsp cacao powder (it's different from cocoa powder! Cacao has more benefits)
1/2 tbsp maca powder (can be found at almost any health food store)
1 tbsp chia seeds
2 tbsp flax seeds
1 1/2 tbsp pure maple syrup
2 tbsp almond milk (sweetened, unsweetened, vanilla, plain, anything you want!)
1 banana
Some cranberries to top it off!

Directions:

1. Cook up some oats, however you prefer. I like to do it in a sauce pot with 3/4 of water.
2. While the oatmeal is cooking, combine the cacao, maca, chia and flax in a bowl.
3. Once the oatmeal is done, place it into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix it all up.
4. Add the liquids (maple syrup and almond milk) and stir until you've reached your desired consistency. (I like mine fairly smooth, but thick)
5. Top off with a banana and some cranberries and voila! A breakfast full of goodness.

Oat meal is a good meal.
