Chocolate Oatmeal Smoothie - The Perfect Post-Workout Breakfast

• 1/2 cup rolled oats, soaked overnight in 1/2 cup filtered water in your refrigerator
• 1/4 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
• 1 cup low-fat milk, however any milk will do
• 2 ice cubes, just so it is cold
• 25 g chocolate protein powder, make sure it's low sugar, I use Rivalus Promasil in Milk Chocolate
• 1 tablespoon cocoa powder, this is optional, I like the extra chocolatiness and boost of flavanoids

1. Fill blender with the soaked oatmeal mixture, ricotta cheese, milk, and ice cubes. Turn on a low blending speed to get it going.
2. When things are looking smooth and blended, open the ingredient hatch on the lid of the blender, (or just the lid if yours doesn't have one - just make sure it's going low enough to where you won't have an explosion), and add your protein powder and cocoa powder while it's still going.
3. Replace cover and turn on high for a few seconds to make sure it's all nice and smooth.
4. Pour into a tall glass with a straw and enjoy!
