Ingredients

1 tablespoon shredded unsweetened coconut 7.5g
1 teaspoon cacao nibs 2g
⅓ cup filtered water 3oz or 80ml

Stir and enjoy!

Notes

A note about substitutions: You could substitute any kind of protein powder you like (for dairy-free/vegan versions), but you may need more water with other protein powders. Also, if you use quick-cooking steel cut oats, reduce the amount to 3 tablespoons (for this amount of liquid and these macros).

How did it come? Sometimes flavorings have alcohol in them, and when uncooked it can taste funny. But I love that you are making the recipe your own!

Hi,

I didn't have any cocnut flake so I substituted imitation coconut flavoring, a few less calories. I'll let you know how it tastes.
