Chocolate Oat Milk Recipe
I can make this milk in 5 minutes and I get the assurance of knowing it's healthy! It's sweetened with whole foods (dates) instead of refined sugars. It has fiber and minerals such as iron and magnesium in it from the cacao powder. It's loaded with antioxidants too! Holla!

- 2 tablespoons cocoa or cacao powder
Optional

Instructions
- Place all of the ingredients in a high powered blender and blend until smooth.

Notes
*Instead of dates, you can also sweeten this chocolate oat milk with maple syrup or another type of liquid sweetener. Just blend the sweetener with the oats as you would the dates.
