Ready in just 15 minutes, this healthy breakfast is the filled with fiber, antioxidants and omega-3-fatty acids. This 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!
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.

Gorgeous! Such a wonderfully healthy way to start the day!
Quick, easy and filled with great blueberry flavor? This sounds like a perfect breakfast. So glad you are getting better!
Nothing beats a good bowl of oatmeal to get you going in the morning. Blueberries and walnuts sound like a delicious topping – and anything with chia seeds makes me happy.
So I finally started eating chia seeds and I actually have Blueberry Chia Oatmeal at least twice a week for breakfast! It’s seriously one of my favorites!
What a hearty and delicious breakfast. It’s sure to carry you through to lunch without any hunger pangs.
Wow is that ever a pretty breakfast to get me going! You may be shocked…however I have never tasted a chia seed…In anything! Lol! Blueberries however are a different story! Yummm!!
This is the perfect comforting breakfast. I LOVE blueberries and I love oatmeal. This would keep me full for hours 🙂 (Also, isn’t Lee the best!)
Tasty! I would probably switch blueberries out for another berry but I love all the other ingredients. That’s the way to start your day!!
This is truly delicious! I switched the honey for maple syrup and it was fantastic. Thanks Lauren!
Yay! So glad you liked this!
Can you make the night before and warm it in the microwave?
I haven’t done that but I am sure you can, Rebecca! Let me know how it come out!
Would frozen blueberries work, from our bushes this past summer?
I can’t see why they wouldn’t work! Just defrost them first 🙂 Thanks April!
