Can I Eat Chocolate For Breakfast?

Sure you can – but should you?Cocoa Sugar Bombs

It Depends…

Chocolate Frosted Cocoa Bombs – Not so good…

But what if I told you you could not only have chocolate, but throw some peanut butter in there as well?

And that you can make it in 5 minutes in the microwave?

And that is the most popular recipe we have ever introduced?

How can you resist that?

Seriously it is really, really, really good.

And it’s even easier (really) to make. Takes 5 minutes, tops.

Give it a try and fall in love with breakfast all over again.

Ingredients:
2/3 cup rolled oats
1 cup chocolate 2% “Calorie Countdown” dairy beverage
2 tsp NATURAL peanut butter (take it easy on the peanut butter – 2 teaspoons means 2 teaspoons)

Put all the ingredients into a bowl and microwave on high for one minute. Stir, then microwave for another minute. Stir it up, let it sit for a few minutes, and you’re done!

This is a wonderfully balanced breakfast with 19 grams of protein,  44 grams of carbs, and 14 grams of fat.

I guarantee if you eat a good breakfast, like this one, you won’t find yourself running for the candy machine by 10:00am.

This is a GREAT way to start your day. Eaten right after training, this bowl of goodness will replentish your energy stores and set to work repairing and rebuilding lean tissue.

Chocolate and Peanut Butter for breakfast – Make It Happen!

    Where do you get Calorie Countdown 2%??
  • Louise
    So, where do you find the Countdown Calorie dairy beverage?
  • Wal-Mart is usually a pretty reliable source. I'll see if the boss has any further input...
  • nancycarlson
    I've also found it at Market Basket..


    If you use a chocolate protein powder here is another great recipe to try.

    1 scoop chocolate protein powder
    1 Tablespoon peanut butter
    3 Tablespoons dry oatmeal
    1 cup cottage cheese
    1 cup water
    3-4 ice cubes

    Combine all in a blender and enjoy. This is a wonderfully thick shake.

  • Deb

    Is this Calorie Countdown stuff milk? I thought milk rots?
  • It is a dairy beverage that has much of the objectionable aspects (in my opinion) of milk drastically reduced. 60% less calories, 84% less carbs, 90% less sugar. I still wouldn't choose to live on the stuff all the time, but it is good choice in the overall big picture.

    Great question.

    what are your thoughts on soy milk?
