Why I Love This Recipe
This very berry oatmeal never disappoints me in the mornings! It’s quick and easy to make while I get ready for work. I love that I get protein from a vegan source and this is low in fat. Eating oatmeal is particularly important to me as I keep an eye on my cholesterol. Due to the fiber in oatmeal, I also feel full longer.
In reality, when I make hot oatmeal in the mornings, I place all of these ingredients in the pot, turn it on and walk away. This saves me the time of having to stand over the stove and allows me to do other things. I usually use the time while my oatmeal is cooking to finish getting ready for work. As much as I’d like to eat hot oatmeal in the summer, I occasionally I will make this very berry recipe as overnight oats. Making overnight oats is as simple as placing all the ingredients in a jar and placing the jar in the fridge.
