    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!
