I prepared this using regular chocolate milk without using cocoa powder, and it was absolutely delicious! I included chopped frozen strawberries for added fiber and flavor, and it exceeded my expectations. I definitely plan on making it again later this week!

I substituted vanilla almond milk and whole milk in this recipe, but kept everything else the same. My usually picky kids absolutely adore this breakfast! They enjoy heating it for a few seconds in the microwave. It gives them the extra calories they need in the morning and keeps them satisfied. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe!

I found that the chia seeds in this dish didn't work for me. The mix of chocolate and chia wasn't to my taste. Additionally, the portion size was quite generous, possibly more than a single person would need for breakfast.

My daughter first shared this recipe with me, and we have both made it multiple times. It is absolutely delicious! It feels like having dessert for breakfast!

I'm not a big fan of cold oatmeal, but it's convenient for a fast and satisfying breakfast. Previously, I only enjoyed cold oatmeal with peanut butter, but this one is a close contender. The combination of chocolate and coconut is delicious, and it kept me full until lunch.

Delicious! I thoroughly enjoyed this dish. Who wouldn't appreciate having chocolate for breakfast? I opted for vanilla soy milk, and the chocolate flavor was just right. Even with unsweetened coconut, it was perfectly sweet. Simply delicious!
