Mint Chocolate Chip Protein Oatmeal

One of my favourite oatmeal recipes, if you’ve got a sweet tooth then this one’s for you !

Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup of plain oatmeal (steelcut, old fashioned or quick oats work exactly the same)
• 1/2 serving (3oz of plain fat free greek yogurt)
• 1/2 tbsp semi-sweet/dark chocolate chips
• green food coloring
• 1 scoop of chocolate protein powder
• 2 drops of peppermint extract
• Optional: cinnamon, Stevia/Splenda, unsweetened cocoa powder for a dark chocolate flavour

Directions:

1. Cook your oats with water/milk according to the packaging
2. Stir in the protein powder and optional ingredients if desired.
3. Place your oats in the fridge/freezer for at least 30 minutes to allow it to cool.  (You could eat it hot but allowing it to chill makes it more dessert-like)
4. In a separate bowl mix together 2 drops of green food coloring, the greek yogurt,and 2 drops of peppermint extract as well as some more Stevia/sweetener of your choice.
5. Once your oats have chilled, remove them from the freezer and spoon the greek yogurt over top. 
6. Sprinkle on the dark chocolate chips and enjoy!
