My favorite breakfast

My current favorite breakfast is OATMEAL.  I know you were thinking it would be something sexier, say like eggs but no, I like oatmeal.  Here is my favorite way to eat it.

• 3/4 cup quick oats
• 1 tablespoon organic maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon organic almond butter
• 1 teaspoon cocoa powder

Yep, it is that simple.  I use quick oats during the week due to time constraints.  I use regular oats on the weekends when I have more time.

I love chocolate.  I am a certifiable chocoholic.  I probably should be in a support group.  I eat cocoa or dark chocolate daily.  It makes me happy. I just look to controlling the portion size.  I also don't eat milk chocolate very often.  I have gotten used to the taste of the more bitter chocolates, so milk chocolate is just too sweet.

There are more than a few articles which mention the health benefits of cocoa as mention by the European Food Council and University of the West Indes. With any food, it is about moderation.

You need to eat to fuel your body.  However, we also need to feel satisfied.  This is a hearty breakfast which keep me going to my morning snack around 10 am.
