Chocolate Covered Strawberry Oats

IMG_1160.jpg

Chocolate covered strawberries have got to be my most anticipated + guiltiest pleasure to devour my own body weight in on Valentine's Day. #wherethegymat?

These oats right here are 1,000,010% inspired by the "bad" + reincarnated to be nutritious and beneficial to your body during this little lover's holiday spree!

To be honest, I was a little nervous to see how these oats ended up, but let me just tell you—I died and dove straight into chocolate covered strawberry heaven. #literally

These oats are so lucious and packed with strawberry antioxidants, vitamins + minerals and then tied all in by cocoa nibs that don't overpower the oats at all. Not to mention, these were made after my work-out class so YOU know that I was craving that good-good protein.

TRY THESE, please. I'm begging you. You have too, I love you!
