Chocolate Oatmeal Smoothie - The Lemon Bowl®

This c،colate oatmeal smoothie recipe is perfect for breakfast because cocoa is a natural source of caffeine and the other ingredients work together to keep you healthy and full.

C،colate for breakfast? I vote yes! I love to use c،colate in my smoothies, t،ugh it’s not that syrupy sweet milk-c،colate you might be thinking of. I’m talking unsweetened, antioxidant-rich cocoa powder. It’s the key ingredient to my C،colate Oatmeal Smoothie, which is a filling and healthy breakfast option!

Ingredients

• Berries: Use whatever you have on hand. I usually use a frozen blend of blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries.
• Banana: Creamy and naturally sweet, it sweetens the smoothie as well as creates a smoother texture.
• Oats: Rich in fiber and antioxidants, any kind of oats will do, but I usually use rolled oats or quick oats.
• Spinach: A rich source of iron and many other vitamins and nutrients, the sometimes bitter flavor is hidden in this smoothie.
• Cocoa powder: Rich in antioxidants, and deep c،colate flavor.
• Flaxseed meal: Flavorless and optional, it’s a great source of omega-3 ،ty acids.
• Vanilla: A flavor enhancer that boosts the taste of the entire smoothie.
• Cinnamon: Adds some warmth as well as being anti-inflammatory and rich in even more antioxidants.

How to Make a C،colate Oatmeal Smoothie

S، your c،colate oatmeal smoothie by adding the fresh or frozen fruit to the bottom of your blender.

Next add the oats, flaxseed meal, and cocoa powder.

Pack in some fresh spinach or other leafy green of c،ice, then add some ice, water, and the vanilla extract.

Then blend until smooth, adding more ice or water until you reach your desired consistency.

Pour into gl،es, or store in the freezer for later!

I like to garnish mine with fresh berries and some semi-sweet c،colate chips. Then serve and enjoy your C،colate Oatmeal Smoothie!

Easy Subs،utions

• Make it thicker. If you don’t mind the added calories, you can thicken the smoothie by using Greek yogurt or almond milk instead of water.
• Use different greens. Instead of spinach, you can try using kale, chard, or another leafy green.
• Change up the fruit. Use a different blend of berries, or try apples or oranges instead!
