Cherry Ripe Protein Oats
Don’t let your dislike for the chocolate deter you! Fresh (frozen) cherries and chocolate pair deliciously.
INGREDIENTS:
50g oats
1 serve chocolate protein powder
180mls unsweetened coconut milk
5g cocoa powder
5g desiccated coconut
3g coconut flakes, toasted
10g dark chocolate, save a little piece for grating
100g frozen pitted cherries, chopped
40g natural protein yoghurt
Pinch of salt
METHOD
Place a pan over low heat. Add the coconut flakes and toast until lightly brown.
Meanwhile, place the oats, cocoa powder, desiccated coconut, & salt into a microwave proof bowl. Give a quick mix, add the coconut milk, then place into the microwave for 1min.
After the minute, stir, and microwave again for another minute. Repeat this process in 30-45sec intervals until you get a thick consistency (I cooked them for a total of 3.5-4minutes, but this will depend on the bowl you use).
Once cooked, give them a good stir and allow to sit for 5 minutes. As the oats are cooling, place the cherries into a small microwave proof dish and microwave for 30-45seconds.
Once the oats have cooled slightly, mix in the protein powder and dark chocolate.
To serve, top the oats with the cherries, yoghurt, toasted coconut flakes & grate over the last bit of chocolate.
