Breakfast, Oatmeal

Blueberries are a superfood offering a wide range of benefits including antioxidants. Oats are also rich in nutrients, containing an ideal amount of soluble fiber (which make you feel fuller for longer). Why not combine the two for a morning boost? The great thing about oatmeal bowls is that you can top them with whatever you like!

Recipe: On a stovetop, for about 5-7 minutes on medium heat, cook your rolled oats with 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 cup blueberries, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1/3 cup milk, and 1/3 cup water. Once oats are cooked, add about 1/3 cup or so of milk. Top with another 1/4 cup blueberries and other dried fruits, peanut butter, chocolate chips, and/or honey.
