    Cacao Nib Cherry Oatmeal

    Ever since I heard of cacao nibs I have been curious and have been looking high and low to find them ( I wanted to physically find them instead of turning to ordering from the internet) and finally my Super Target stocked up on all kinds of super foods including cacao nibs and I instantly grabbed a bag.

    I also saw a delicious bag of cherries and knew what I was going to do with them.

    I love creating new oatmeal flavors so I never get bored of this healthy breakfast food. I also love incorporating these super foods anywhere I can!

    Cacao Nibs and cherries are mixed with rolled oats, brown sugar, and vanilla.

      Rainier cherries! I'm in the Pacific NW right now and I'm eating them left and right. So.Good.! I'd be putting that on my oatmeal too. Also cacao nibs are awesome, try them in granola or cookies too.
