An influencer provided plenty of food for thought when she claimed she ate chocolate for breakfast – and lost weight. Content creator Brittany McCrystal said she dropped 55lbs (25kg) after scoffing her very tasty twist on a Snickers bar.

She gets her day started with “Healthy Girl Snickers Overnight Oats,” the recipe for which she happily shared with her 694.1k TikTok followers. “Here’s another recipe where I show you that healthy eating does not need to be bland or boring.

“These Snickers overnight oats are on my go-to breakfasts that helped me shift 25kg (55lbs),” Brittany began. Just mix 45g of oats with 70g of creamy unsweetened almond milk, 25g of protein powder, a few drops of sweetener and vanilla extract. This creamy mixture is the perfect base for your breakfast.”

In the clip, viewed over 340k times, Brittany moved on to how she whips up the lip-smacking topping. “Take 10g of powdered peanut butter and mix it with water until its smooth. Add the peanut butter on top of your oats. Then take 20g of 80 per cent dark chocolate and melt it in the microwave with 3g of coconut oil. Pour it over the oats and sit it in the fridge overnight,” she concluded.

Fans unsurprisingly went nutty over the snacks – they contain 444 calories, to 31g protein – with one gushing: “Omg yes, thank you!” Proof really was in the pudding that sensible eating doesn’t always have to involve sad-looking lettuce leaves and grapefruit.
