But my favorite chocolatey breakfast is the chocolatyist breakfast of all.
Chocolate Powdahs
I love how fast this bowl of chocolate goodness comes together! I simply combine one serving of Flax-Z-Snax hot cereal (you can easily substitute oats) with one scoop of All the Whey chocolate peanut butter cup protein powder and one tablespoon of cocoa powder.
After adding water to moisten everything up (add more water than you might think!), I microwave it for about 90 seconds, stopping to stir it regularly, until it’s thick and ready for eatin’.
Done Deal
Spoonful of Chocolate for Breakfast = Heaven
This breakfast satisfies my sweet tooth, packs a protein punch and keeps me full. Win!
My bowl of brownie batter hot cereal hit the spot after BodyPump and 20 minutes on the elliptical this morning. Not a bad post-workout reward.
In the words of the seven dwarfs (and Dopey Sadie), hi ho, hi ho, it’s off to work I go!

Mmmmm! I had chocolate & cherry overnight oats in a jar! With chocolate hazelnut butter. Definitely like dessert for breakfast! 🙂 Gotta love it.
yum! That looks so good! It was below freezing on my run this morning so I think I’ll make that breakfast to warm me up! Have a nice day 🙂
Chocolate for breakfast is heavenly 😉
Enjoy your day!
Hey Julie
Love the blog. I saw that one of the things you wanted to do in 2011 was focus more on the pictures for your blog. My friend send me this article and I thought I’d pass it on to you!

P.S. For the record, I don’t think you’re a bad food photographer! Just thought this article might of interest. 🙂
I actually can’t handle anything that sweet in the morning, but I would be all over that come afternoon!
ahhh i need to put protein powder in my oats tomorrow!
Mmm..chocolate in the morning sounds heavenly. There is nothing better than chocolate to start the day 🙂
Chocolate for breakfast is the best 🙂
Julie, not only do you do chocolate in the morning, but you also do it the right way!
Get ’em, girl. 😉 Have a great workday!
chocolate in the morning! YUMMY
i am really wanting to try putting vegan chocolate chips in my oats.. thatd be yummmy <3
oooh that looks delicious! have a good day 🙂
Wow-ee!! What a scrumptious looking breakfast!
Chocolate no doubt is a good thing to have at breakfast, I have to agree with you!
Happy Wednesday 🙂
Chocolate for breakfast is the best. Yours reminds me of a frozen hot chocolate.
WOWZA…i need some of THAT for breakfast!
I love chocolate protein oats but I got a little burned out of them so I have been adding vanilla protein powder and some low-sugar strawberry jam…SO GOOD!!! But I am sure I will tire of this soon enough and chocolate will make its return! 🙂
Love this idea. I’m trying to up the flavor on my morning oats – this is great! This morning I had a light pb&j on a cinnamon raisin sandwich thin – have you tried those yet? I just found them and they are SO good and smell heavenly when toasted!
NOM. sounds great! i haven’t seen them available yet!
Wow, that sounds divine! Although, I can’t do too much sweetness in the morning, my stomach can’t handle it! Where do you get your protein powder from? I want to try this as a dessert 🙂
Julie! I have wanted the darn All The Whey protein powder ever since you mentioned to cake batter flavor (oomggg, I would go nuts), but every time I go to the website, it’s backordered!
Do you always get it online?
I ran outside yesterday. I was snotty, my lungs burned, and I thought of you and your mutual hate for cold runs. I also blogged about it. 😉
yeah. i’ve had my big tub for a while though… since before it was ALWAYS out of stock on nutraplant.com.
Must try this! I’m wondering the same as Alyssa, though, where to find the All The Whey in stock?
it’s a mystery! i ordered mine a long time ago from nutraplanet.com – before it became so hard to find!
Mmm this seriously looks exactly like brownie batter.
chocolate for any meal is a good idea!
This is the second bowl of PB/chocolate oats I’ve seen on the blogworld today. I think the world is trying to tell me something 🙂
That looks INSANE! Love it!
I love you for this! This is breakfast tomorrow. Anothere great recipe Julie!
xo
Mindy
That is definitely an amazing treat!
This is a GREAT idea! Yum.
I am not alone with wondering how to order All The Whey… their flavors sound great! Cinnamon Bun, Cupcake Batter, Peanut Butter Cup… the stores in my area simply do not stock this brand or these decadent-sounding flavors! I found a couple websites that sell ATW products, but it’d be so awesome if they set you up with a PBF link / code so that you can benefit from telling us about it… just sayin’! 🙂 I bet quite a few of us would buy through your link!
that would be sch-weet. i order mine from nutraplanet.com… it lasts forever, so i’ve had a big tub since before it became so hard to come by. bummer, i know!
Yum, I can def do chocolate in the morning! Great idea!
I love chocolate in the morning! I like to do 1/2 scoop of chocolate whey + 1 Tbsp. of cocoa + 1 blob of greek yogurt and PB on oats. That’s the start of a good day. 🙂
Meals that come together in under 5 minutes are the best..esp when they involve chocolate! Have a great day!
That breakfast looks great!
Just did some googling and there is a bunch of info about how Flax-Z-Snax is mislabeling their nutritional info! Just thought you’d like the heads up!

yes, i know! 🙁 bad. i addressed this in a previous post. i still have some of the stuff left from before this issue, so i’m just using it all up.
Oh sorry I must have missed that. Oops!
oh no worries! i just didn’t want you to think i was speaking positively about a company/product that would do this!
Drool… 😉
I really need to go any get myself some chocolate protein powder pronto!
Omg this looks like brownie batter. YUM! And it’s good-for-you, too? Thanks for the recipe, Julie!
My oats were a bust this morning. I’m not quite sure what I did wrong but they were an inedible brown clump of yuck.
I did 1/2 cup of instant oats, 1 scoop of chocolate whey protein powder, 1 tbs of peanut butter powder, and 1 tbs of cocoa powder. Added a little bit of water to moisten it up and it looked glorious.
However, as they cooked, I felt the need to keep adding more water b/c they looked dry and goopy. By the end of 90 seconds I thought they’d taste better than they looked. Nadda. 🙁
What did I do wrong? I really wanted to love this.
