CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER PROATS
/It doesn’t get much better than chocolate and peanut butter.
Bonus is, these tasty, easy-to-make overnight oats are packed with micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, antioxidants), fibre, healthy fats, and protein. Above I also used a combination of almond milk and kefir for those gut-healthy probiotics and added some cauliflower rice for a morning veggie boost!
Chocolate Peanut Butter Proats can be enjoyed cold or heated up if you need a warm and cozy start to your day.
