Tired of crashing at noon? This is the breakfast for you. A no-cook, cacao-rich oatmeal built for steady energy that lasts all day. It's formulated for athletes and made to be enjoyed by everyone. Make one batch and fuel your mornings all week.
Ingredients
2 overripe bananas, mashed
1 1/2 cups sprouted, glyphosate-free oats
1/4 cup chia seeds
3 scoops Ritual Cacao
1 cup Greek yogurt
2 cups water
Pinch of sea salt
Optional:
Extra sweetener to taste, like maple syrup or honey
Toppings: fresh strawberries or other berries, sliced banana, nut butter, cacao nibs
Instructions
In a large bowl, mash the bananas.
Add the oats, chia seeds, Ritual Cacao, Greek yogurt, water and a pinch of sea salt. Mix until fully combined.
Wait 10 minutes, then mix again to prevent the chia from clumping.
Let it sit for at least 30 minutes to thicken.
Portion into jars or containers and store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Top with your favorite garnishes and enjoy cold, as a breakfast or pre-workout snack.
Why It Works: No More Noon Crash
Most breakfasts hit fast and fade fast. A sugary pastry or a plain bowl of oats can spike your blood sugar, and by late morning you're running on empty. Every ingredient in this oatmeal is there to give you energy that builds and lasts.
Bananas and oats for lasting energy. Ripe bananas bring natural sweetness and quick, easy-to-use carbs to get you going. Sprouted oats follow up with slow-burning complex carbs and fiber that keep fueling you for hours.
Greek yogurt for easy-to-digest protein. Straining makes Greek yogurt higher in protein and lower in lactose than regular yogurt, with live cultures that are gentle on your gut. Protein keeps you full and supports recovery after training.
Chia seeds to buffer the blood sugar spike. Chia is packed with fiber and plant-based omega-3s. As it soaks, it forms a gel that slows digestion, helping soften the natural blood sugar spike that oatmeal can cause on its own. Steadier blood sugar means steadier energy, without the crash.
Ritual Cacao for focus, recovery and feel-good energy. Every scoop brings:
Organic cacao → theobromine for a calm, steady lift, plus flavanols linked to healthy blood flow and mood
Grass-fed collagen → supports joints, skin and connective tissue
Grass-fed colostrum → immunoglobulins and growth factors that support gut and immune health
Lion's mane → studied for focus and brain health
Baja Gold™ sea salt → natural electrolytes to help you stay hydrated
Together, you get carbs for fuel, protein for staying power, fiber to keep it all steady, and functional ingredients to help you feel and perform your best from breakfast to dinner.
Pro Tip
Make a batch on Sunday and portion it into jars for grab-and-go breakfasts all week.
