Mexican Chocolate Breakfast Shake

2013_02_25aA friend posted this recipe on Facebook and it looked so good. Aya eats oatmeal everyday for breakfast and this has pretty much everything she already adds to it anyways. It’s just blended and cold. So we had to try it.

This is an awesome alternative to her regular bowl of oatmeal. And since she’s tried it, she’s been drinking it everyday for breakfast. It’s super tasty and very filling. I’m not going to lie and say it tastes just like a chocolate milkshake, but as far as breakfast shakes go, it has a great texture and is very tasty.

We used almond milk to soak the oats and used agave nectar as the sweetener. Using a frozen banana as it calls is essential for the frosty milkshake texture. I did it once without a frozen one and it just wasn’t the same.

This is from the site, OhMyVeggies. She has many variations on this, and we’ll definitely try all of these out.

With Aya’s maternity leave over, she’s back at work and wanting to do everything possible to keep her milk supply up. Which includes eating tons and tons of oatmeal. She’s never been a huge fan of oatmeal, so she researched a lot of different recipes to keep it interesting. Apple cinnamon, peanut butter and jelly, and this one; pumpkin pie! We’ve all been enjoying this one.
