Hey guys! Did you know that March is National Nutrition Month?! Ohhhh yeaaahhhh! We’re talking 31 days of nutrition fun, facts and FOOD!
Because we don’t eat in nutrients… we eat FOOD!
I am so excited for this month because I have tons of great stuff to share with you guys to put your best fork forward (this years theme!) AND I know so many of my dietitian friends also have fabulous resources, blogs, recipes and more up their sleeves as well!
So I’m kicking off National Nutrition Month with a CHOCOLATEY BANG! Because nutrition is all about balance…
So eat your chocolate and cauliflower too with this 10 Minute Chocolate Brownie Oatmeal Bowl!
I’ve seen the adding more vegetables to your breakfast trend soaring to new heights this year (#trendalert!) beyond the basic veggies in your omelet sort of thang, to ZOATS (zucchini oats) and COATS (cauli oats) and that’s exactly what I’m sharing with you today!
Most Americans simply do not eat enough veggies. I mean, are YOU eating 3-5 servings of veggies a day?? I didn’t think so! And if you are, BRAVO! I’m all about sharing more ways you can eat more veggies (READ MORE HERE) and one of my latest and greatest ways to do that is to add riced cauliflower to my morning bowl of oats.
Personally, I’m an oatmeal lover. There’s something so comforting about it. But a bowl of oats leaves me feeling empty about an hour later which is why I favor my overnight oats with a dose of filling chia seeds to boost ’em up. Well, now I got the genius idea from one of my Instagram friends to add riced cauliflower!
Riced cauliflower is a great way to bulk up your breakfast bowl because it’s…
- Full of FIBER and nutrients
- Inexpensive
- Takes on the flavor of your bowl … I mean, helloooo chocolatey greatness!
I’m a big fan of riced cauliflower and always have some stored in my freezer to add to smoothies, meatloaf muffins, as a side dish, and now my bowl of oatmeal too!
With just 6 ingredients (plus spices) this 10 Minute Chocolate Brownie Oatmeal Bowl is…
- Full of (12 grams!!) FIBER (to keep you full, keep things movin’ along, and keep your heart healthy!)
- Packed with chocolatey flavor without added sugar so you can conquer your cravings in a healthy way first thing in the morning
- A great way to boost your veggie intake deliciously
- A great canvas for delicious toppings
- Packed with 12 grams protein per serving!
- Easy and quick to make
- Totally satisfying and satiating!
