Blueberry Oatmeal with Honey and Chia Seeds

P&G states that berries have more fiber than other fruits. Berries are also a source of antioxidants, and blueberries are among the berries that have the highest antioxidant activity. You can be sure that these oats are loaded with blueberries, so you’ll surely reap those benefits with this recipe!

The other super-food here is chia seeds. Chia seeds also have antioxidant properties, and they are a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids. This is important because Omega-3 fatty acids help raise the “good” cholesterol, known as HDL cholesterol, that protects against heart attack and stroke.

Ingredients for Blueberry Oatmeal with Honey and Chia Seeds

You’ll only need a handful of ingredients to make this speedy and tasty breakfast! Here’s what you’ll need:

• Blueberries, fresh or frozen
• Chia seeds
• Quick oats
• Milk of choice (I used regular dairy milk)
• Vanilla extract
• White chocolate chips
• Honey

Eat with Your Eyes!

As we’ve established that the ingredients in this creamy and sweet blueberry oatmeal recipe are very nutritious and have a lot of utility in being part of a healthy breakfast, let’s be honest here and say these oats just look darn gorgeous!

You’ll want to start by cooking your oats. Add the oats and milk to your pot and bring to a simmer.

Then, add the chia seeds and vanilla extract.

Adding half the blueberries to the oat and milk mixture will make that milk the gorgeous purple color.

Now it’s time for the assembly! We’re going to add more blueberries to really achieve a lovely purple color throughout the entire dish. Topping the oats with some honey will add a glorious gloss on top. Finally, we’ve got the show-stopper here, which is the white chocolate chips! Of course you can use whichever type of chocolate chips you like, but the white chocolate chips not only add that extra pop of color but white chocolate is so creamy, and I find that the richness of white chocolate goes so well with the blueberries!
