I've been on an oatmeal kick here lately, and this is definitely one for the books! This combo of steel-cut oats, unsweetened almond milk, raspberries, blueberries, and granola makes for a naturally sweet and delicious healthy breakfast!
This breakfast is also great for a post-workout meal because it is higher in carbs :) It is important stay fueled with the proper amounts of energy, especially if you are an athlete. Keep reading for nutrient highlights!
STEEL-CUT OATS: High in beta glucan, a soluble fiber which helps with proper digestion. They are also a great source of plant protein, which is great for those who are vegan or vegetarian!
RASPBERRIES: Contains antioxidant and phytonutrient properties which may help lower the risk of cancer. Raspberries are also a wonderful source of fiber, containing 8 grams per every 1 cup.
BLUEBERRIES: Loaded with antioxidants, potassium, and vitamin C! They also have anti-inflammatory properties.
Follow the recipe below to whip up your own bowl of these delicious and healthy oats!

1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (I use Almond Breeze)
1/4 cup fresh raspberries
1/4 cup fresh blueberries

1/2 cup plain yogurt (I use Siggi's)
1/2 tbsp ground flax seeds
