Ingredient Benefits

Rolled Oats
Oats are a heart-healthy whole grain packed with fiber (especially beta-glucan), which supports digestion, keeps you full, and helps manage blood sugar levels. They're also a good source of iron, B vitamins, and slow-release energy.

Almond Milk (Unsweetened)
A low-calorie dairy alternative, almond milk is naturally rich in vitamin E, an antioxidant that supports skin health. It also adds a light, nutty creaminess without added sugars or saturated fat.

Cacao Powder
Raw cacao is a nutritional powerhouse loaded with antioxidants, magnesium, and iron. It boosts mood and supports brain health — and let’s not forget, it brings that deeply rich chocolate flavor.

Almonds
Crunchy and satisfying, almonds are high in healthy monounsaturated fats, fiber, and protein. They also provide vitamin E, magnesium, and antioxidants that support heart and skin health.

Banana
A natural sweetener that brings creaminess and potassium to the bowl, bananas support muscle function and give an energy boost — perfect for busy mornings or fueling your workout.

Hemp Seeds
Tiny but mighty, hemp seeds are a complete plant protein packed with omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, essential amino acids, and minerals like magnesium and zinc. Great for energy, skin, and brain support.

Peanut Butter
Rich, creamy, and satisfying, peanut butter adds a dose of plant-based protein and healthy fats. It helps keep you fuller longer while adding a deliciously indulgent touch to the mix.

This bowl is fully customizable — try adding a few berries for extra freshness or cinnamon for a cozy spice twist. Want a protein boost? Stir in a spoonful of your favorite protein powder. Let me know if you'd like a high-protein version or a chilled overnight oat adaptation!
