Mexican Chocolate Breakfast Shake

Mexican Chocolate Breakfast Shake

An easy, healthy (and Mexican chocolatey!) alternative to the typical breakfast shake.

§ Prep Time: 10 minutes

§ Total Time: 10 minutes

§ Yield: 1 shake

Ingredients

§ 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats

§ 1 cup almond, soy or coconut milk

font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Wingdings; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Wingdings;">§ 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

§ 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

§ Agave nectar, honey, maple syrup or other sweetener, to taste (optional)

§ 1 small banana, cut into pieces and frozen overnight in a freezer bag

Instructions

1. Combine the oats, milk, cocoa powder, cinnamon and sweetener in a resealable bowl. Stir together, cover and refrigerate overnight.

2. Add the banana and oat mixture to a blender and blend until completely smooth. If the shake is too thick, add more milk for a thinner consistency; if it’s not sweet enough, add more sweetener.

Notes

Making the oatmeal mixture ahead of time and refrigerating it overnight softens the oats and gives the shake a smoother texture. If you’re feeling impatient (or don’t mind little bits of oatmeal in your shake), you can make this without that step–put the oats in the food processor or blender first, process until it becomes a fine powder, and then add the rest of the ingredients and blend until smooth.
