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.
Why You Should Make This Blueberry Chia Oatmeal
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.
This blueberry chia oatmeal is so easy to make, loaded with protein and fiber and will help keep you full for the morning.
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!)
