One of my favorite ways to start the day is with a warm bowl of oatmeal. A lot of people steer away from oats because they are a carb, but this grain is also rich in fiber, important vitamins and other nutrients that we need to feel our best. In fact, oats have been known to improve heart health, making them one of the healthiest breakfast carbs! This powerhouse bowl of oatmeal goodness is taken to the next level with the addition of superfoods like flax seeds, chia seeds and blueberries. They will keep you feeling fuller longer and they taste so much better than any store-bought oats you will find.

Ingredients You Need for 5-Minute Blueberry Superfood Oats [Vegan]

How to Prepare 5-Minute Blueberry Superfood Oats [Vegan]

1. Add the water to a small or medium pot and bring to a boil over medium heat. Add the oats and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring often, until the oats are creamy. Remove the oats from the heat and add the frozen blueberries, chia seeds, flaxseeds, vanilla and maple syrup (if using).
2. Mix until the oats are blue and creamy.
3. Serve the oats in a bowl topped with the mixed berries, banana and your favorite nut butter. Serve warm!

Notes

Healthy Tips:

1. Make extra-creamy oats by using 1/2 cup (120 ml) of plain unsweetened almond or oat milk in place of 1/2 cup (120 ml) of water when cooking.
2. To add sweetness to your oats, mix in maple syrup or use half of an overripe banana, mashed, mixed into the oats.
3. Level up your protein by adding a scoop (2 tablespoons[20 g]) of vanilla plant-based protein powder to these oats, which will keep you fuller even longer!
