We share a love for chocolate... what can I say? 😍

Ingredient Notes
- Oats Use old fashioned oats (rolled oats), not quick oats or steel cut oats. Oats are a great source of fiber and protein.
- Chocolate: We're talking chocolate milk, cocoa powder, and mini chocolate chips (a little goes a long way, trust me!). Milk is a great source of protein and calcium.
- Peanut Butter Any kind of peanut butter. I prefer to use all-natural peanut butter, the kind that's made with just peanuts and a little salt.
- Chia Seeds Helps add texture while also adding a boost of protein, fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids.
