When this happens, if we take a look at the deeper reflection, we can often notice that in fact, there is something within ourselves that WE don’t like. And then, we can work to let that go, work it through and become a freer, fully aware Being.
For the chocolate in this I used Lydia‘s raw chocolate sauce, it is so delectable! However, I’m sure that any chocolate sauce would do. I’ve left the agave as optional here. If you prefer your oatmeal sweet add a squeeze or two…

2 T chocolate sauce
2 T almond butter
Agave to taste, if you like it sweet!

Combine almond butter and chocolate sauce in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until well mixed, be careful not to over cook and burn the chocolate. stir oatmeal and half of the mixture together, add agave if you like. The rest of the mixture can be added, or used as a delicious topping for something else. Yum!
