Cacao Overnight Oats
My sister is addicted to chocolate. She makes these rad ceramic bowls so this breakfast was a tribute to her. Cacao is great for increasing energy. The cacao nibs act as chocolate chips. You can even top it with raspberries or strawberries to add some sweetness. It’s so easy and it’s ready right when you wake up. Not having the time to make breakfast can’t even be an excuse!
