High Protein Triple Chocolate Cinnamon Oats

As a foodie who loves to exercise, I am always on the lookout for recipes that are both healthy and tasty. I have a particular liking for oatmeal, especially because of how versatile it is. I’ve spent the past few months trying countless recipes to see which flavor combinations paired well together and ascertaining the perfect ratio of ingredients to liquids. After all this, I’ve finally created the perfect breakfast oatmeal recipe: my delicious High Protein Triple Chocolate Cinnamon Oats. This is my go-to breakfast that I eat almost every single day and never get tired of! It’s packed with around 29 grams of protein, spiced with cinnamon and ginger, and super duper chocolatey!
