These oats are top notch. The blueberries and vanilla extract provide the sweetness that you might typically achieve through brown sugar, only they’re better, for (hopefully) obvious reasons. Also they’re purple, which should be enough to win anybody over. But if not, then the abundance of fiber, high-calcium almond milk, and every other healthful component (fruit, nuts, etc) of this meal should make you realize that it’s a better option than your lame bagel and cream cheese. Basically: no constipation, you’ll make it to lunch without passing out, and you’re getting some nutrients—what more do you need?
What you need:
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1.5 tbsp. cup shredded coconut
- Handful sliced almonds
- 2 cups almond milk
Steps:
- Combine raw oats and almond milk in a pot on the stove low-medium heat.
- When oats begin to turn creamy and simmer, stir in the blueberries, vanilla extract and coconut.
- Continue to stir until blueberries turn soft and begin to burst, turning the oats a light purple color.
- Once oatmeal has thickened into medium-thick consistency, let cool 2-3 minutes, toss almonds on top, and serve warm with other fruit if desired.
