This oatmeal feels like a decadent dessert! But don’t worry, you can enjoy it guilt-free because the sweetness comes only from the banana & raspberries.

The cacao powder and cacao chips create the chocolatey-goodness, but because both are unsweetened, they contain zero grams of sugar! The cacao is rich in minerals, including iron, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, manganese, and copper. Plus, its packed with potent plant compounds, including flavonoid antioxidants.

Trader Joe’s Unsweetened Instant Oatmeal is key to making this breakfast hearty & filling. Unlike the sweetened oatmeals you’ll find at other grocery stores, this one is high in protein and contains only whole grain oats, flax seeds, chia seeds, quinoa and amaranth.

Try this recipe once, and we guarantee you’ll find it irresistible!
