Superfood chocolate overnight oats

I am sure you have seen many recipes for overnight oats however these superfood chocolate overnight oats are quite unique. Not only I have used some typical ingredients to increase the protein content but I have used a few powerful elements that bring the recipe to the next level.

I have recently started researching and using more superfood powders. While there might be a bit pricy they tend to last a long time. I used them mostly to add them to my smoothies as well as with overnight oats recipes. They are the perfect healthy addition.

I started working at the beginning of September so every single weekend I plan my meals for the week. Breakfast always consist of some sort of overnight oat recipe so have to make sure I change the flavor from week to week.

When I make overnight oats, I always make enough to last for the whole week, especially enough to have for the kids and myself. The apple pie flavor I made last week didn’t last that much, it was plain sensational  however this flavor is equally as good.

For this Superfood chocolate overnight oats I use some superfood powders:

1. Baobab:  Rich in vitamin C and believed to have antimicrobial, antiviral, anti-oxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties.
2. Carob: Great source of antioxidants, high in fiber and calcium and helps relieve diarrhea
3. Maca: Enhances energy, stamina, athletic performance, and memory, increases libido and infertility.
4. Lucuma: Packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants. Is a low GI sweetener.
5. Cacao nibs: Mood enhancer, high in fiber, antioxidants, magnesium, potassium and iron.

All these powders I get online. I have a monthly subscription so I always make sure I never run out. Having a well stock pantry is a must for me.

There are other superfood powders I have purchased that I also add to my smoothies. I will make a recipe and share them with you as well. They are truly the bomb.

Anyways, if you haven’t tried to make overnight oats yet I urge you to give it a go, there are plain sensational.
