LOVE. IT!! This is a great alternative to my usual smoothies for breakfast...so easy to make, very warm and sweet and satisfying. I'll be adding this one to the regular rotation. Thanks for posting!

This is a great way to switch up your morning oatmeal. I love cinnamon and chocolate together (it is quite subtle here though). I skipped adding any sugar or salt to this since those are already contained in the cocoa mix (I used Ghiradelli). I tried this with and without the other half of the banana sliced on top, both ways were really good. I only cooked this 1.5 minutes, as it was very thick at that point. I love hungry girl's website, so I appreciate seeing one of her recipes on zaar!

This is amazing! It tastes just like a dessert but it is very healthy for you. The only change I made was to use 1/4 cup cold soymilk instead of the water. Will be making this often. Thanks for posting!

OMG is this good!!!! I used sugar-free Nesquick since that's what I had on hand and 1/2 tsp. of sugar instead of Splenda. Oatmeal is one of my favorite foods and this is such a yummy way to make it - it really felt more like a dessert. Out of personal preference I will omit the cinnamon next time because I don't know if I loved the slight cinnamon taste w/the chocolate. Thanks for posting this quick and healthy recipe!
