Ingredients
50g Jumbo oats

juice of one orange Orange juice (70ml if using caton juice)
100ml Semi-skimmed milk (can use alternative milk)
20g Pistachios (can use nut of choice)
1/2 Orange
1 square Dark chocolate
25g Optional protein powder (I use unflavoured, but you can try your favourite flavour)
Method
Step 1
Place oats, cacao powder, orange juice and milk into a pan and mix. Put on a low heat and stir continuously until it’s thickened up and hot throughout.
Step 2
Pour oats into a bowl and place chocolate, chopped orange and pistachios on top of the oats.
Step 3
Optional: If adding protein powder, add when mixing other ingredients. Add a splash more milk if the consistency is too thick.

Recipe Notes
- This recipe can easily be made vegan by using plant-based milk, vegan protein powder, and dairy-free dark chocolate.
- It can also be made gluten free by choosing certified gluten free oats.
- You can use either cacao or cocoa powder in this recipe. Cacao is the less processed option, which means it retains more of its natural antioxidants and has a deeper, richer flavour. Cocoa is smoother and more familiar for most people. Both work perfectly, so choose whichever you prefer or already have in the cupboard.
