Some mornings I wake up really hungry. It's usually after a long training session the day prior and my body wants more and more food to recover. On those mornings, I take my oatmeal and go overboard with it. To add calories and nutrients, I add in items I normally wouldn't.

Vegan Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Pancakes

I use cacao and dark chocolate almost daily in my diet. Cacao is full of health benefits including a high amount of iron and calcium which if you aren't eating animal products, you may be lacking.
