We love breakfast. We love oatmeal. We love smoothies. We love fast, easy, nutritious and satisfying meals! So why not combine our loves to make one fabulous way to start your morning?! Perfect to bring to work, on a picnic, for your family on the go… or to enjoy leisurely with the Sunday paper and a cup of tea.
This recipe is simple and easy. You can make a large batch ahead of time and store individual servings in pint sized mason jars in your fridge.
Tip: We make a big pot of oatmeal on Sunday and use it creatively throughout the week for quick breakfast solutions. In fact, that is how we invented this protein packed, fiber filled, omega-3 overloaded breakfast bowl! Yesterday’s leftover cooked oats became today’s berry breakfast bowl.
For one serving:
1 cup cooked oatmeal (cooked whole rolled oats according to the package instructions)
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup milk of your choice
1 tbsp ground flax seeds
1 tbsp chia seeds
1/2 cup frozen berries (or more if you’d like! We used 6 frozen strawberries)
2 tbsp maple syrup or 2 medjool dates, seeds removed
Put all ingredients in a blender and give it a whirl!
Pour into a mason jar or bowl. Top with chopped nuts, a sprinkle of chia, fresh fruit or homemade granola, if desired. ENJOY!
