Ready in just 15 minutes, this Blueberry Chia Oatmeal is a healthy breakfast that is filled with fiber, antioxidants and omega-3-fatty acids. This blueberry chia oatmeal is the perfect way to start your day!
Before I share this delicious recipe I just want to thank you again for all of your well wishes. I am feeling stronger every day and can't wait to be myself again!
Ok, now let's dig into this bowl of deliciousness...
My friend Lee, of Fit Foodie Finds is one of those people that you just can't help but love. She's adorable, creates the most amazing, healthy recipes, is such a fitness inspiration and has incredible hair.
Like major hair envy type of incredible.
Lee made this simple yet scrumptious breakfast for us and I know I can't wait to make it. I am so into blueberries these days and you already know my love of chia. The more chia seeds the better!
Who couldn't use some more fiber and antioxidants in their diet, right?
Right.
The best part of this is that I can even make this on a busy school-day morning! And even though I love blueberries, I bet any fruit would be just as delicious in this.
Oatmeal is one of the few things that I am consistently eating these days. My appetite is coming back slowly and luckily my love affair with oatmeal really never left. No joke, I was worried my taste buds would change.
Please go and show Lee some love on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram. And then you can see just how amazing she is (and that hair!)

Would frozen blueberries work, from our bushes this past summer?
