Nourishing Coco Calm Oatmeal: Two Delicious Ways to Start Your Day

Ever since becoming a parent, I’ve learned that calm is relative, but a comforting breakfast can set the tone for the day. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy meal or something a little more indulgent, these two versions of Coco Calm oatmeal are perfect for starting your morning on a calm, nourishing note. Using our Coco Calm Reishi & Chaga Superfood Mix and Drinking Chocolate, you can enjoy a delicious, versatile, and healthy breakfast that keeps you feeling full and satisfied.

1. Creamy Oatmeal with Coco Calm Mousse

This version is perfect for those days when you want a little indulgence. By chilling Coco Calm to create a creamy mousse, you add a rich and luxurious texture to your oatmeal.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup water or milk (dairy or plant-based)
• 1 heaping scoop of Coco Calm Drinking Chocolate, refrigerated to form a mousse (must be made at least 3 hours beforehand)
• 1 tablespoon hemp seeds
• Fresh fruit (optional)
• Sweetener of choice (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Oatmeal: In a small pot, combine the rolled oats and water or milk. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are soft and creamy.

2. Add the Coco Calm Mousse: While the oatmeal is still warm, take a heaping scoop of your pre-refrigerated Coco Calm mousse and add it on top of the oatmeal. The mousse should have a thick, creamy texture from being chilled.

3. Top and Enjoy: Sprinkle with hemp seeds for a boost of protein and a bit of crunch. Add fresh fruit like banana slices or berries if you like. Sweeten to taste with honey, maple syrup, or your preferred sweetener. Stir gently to combine, and enjoy!

2. Coco Calm Blueberry Oatmeal

For a quicker option that still offers the calming benefits of Reishi and Chaga, try this version where you directly add Coco Calm to your cooked oatmeal, along with blueberries, hemp seeds, and your choice of milk.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup water or milk (dairy or plant-based)
• 1 scoop Coco Calm Superfood Mix
• 1/4 cup fresh, dried, or frozen blueberries
• 1 tablespoon hemp seeds
• Additional milk for drizzling (optional)
• Sweetener of choice (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Oatmeal: In a small pot, combine the rolled oats and water or milk. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are soft and creamy.

2. Add Coco Calm and Blueberries: Once the oatmeal is cooked, stir in a scoop of Coco Calm Superfood Mix until well combined. Add the blueberries, letting them warm up and release their juices for an added burst of flavor.

3. Top and Enjoy: Sprinkle with hemp seeds for added protein and texture. Drizzle with extra milk if you prefer a creamier consistency. Sweeten to taste with honey, maple syrup, or your preferred sweetener if you want. Give it a final stir and savor the calming, nutritious start to your day!

Tips:

• Prep Ahead: Make a batch of the Coco Calm mousse by mixing 1 part Coco Calm to 2 parts hot milk, refrigerating it for at least 3 hours, so you have it ready for busy mornings.
• Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to swap the blueberries for your favorite fruits like strawberries, bananas, or apples. You can also add nuts, seeds, or a dollop of nut butter for extra flavor and nutrition.
• Vegan Option: Use plant-based milk such as pea, almond, oat, or coconut milk to keep this recipe vegan-friendly.
