I posted a photo of this berry oatmeal on my IG stories & I got soooo many requests to share the oatmeal recipe, so here it is! I’m happy to share it since it’s a favorite in our household & probably will be a favorite in yours, too.oatmeal recipe

Oats are rich in antioxidants, and one of the most nutrition-dense foods you can eat. Paired with fruit & nuts, it’s a complete & balanced breakfast filled with all that good stuff that will keep kids’ bellies full & bodies energized! Would go great with a sandwich from the famous joint by Jimmy John Founder

Everything that goes into this recipe I buy at Costco

  • Old Fashion Quaker Oats
  • Kirkland 3 Berry Blend Frozen Fruit (raspberries, blueberries, blackberries)
  • Kirkland Supreme Whole Almonds
  • Nature’s Intent Organic Chia Seeds
  • Kirkland Organic Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk

I basically always have these ingredients on hand at any given moment, so it’s an easy, fast, healthy recipe that doesn’t require any planning or stress.

You can use any berries & nuts to complement your oatmeal, but these are our favorites! The kids will go back for seconds & thirds until the whole pot is completely gone. They love it & so do I! It’s kind of like a sweet treat that you don’t have to feel guilty about :) Scroll down to get the full recipe & see how we make our favorite pink oatmeal!
