    Superfood Oats: Made Three Ways

    Feb 4, 2015 • Breakfast

    Superfood oatmeal makes for the perfect nourishing breakfast or snack. For those days when I need more than just a green juice or smoothie, I turn to oats because they fill me up and leave me feeling balanced throughout the day. I love how you can switch up the flavors every time, depending on how you are feeling and what your body is craving.

    Since super foods are all the rage and our bodies love them, I like to add a bunch of super foods to my bowls of oatmeal goodness! Why not give your body a little extra lovin?

    My Top Super Foods for Oatmeal:
    Blueberries, raspberries, gogi berries, dried mulberries, chia seeds , hemp hearts, flaxseeds,
    raw maca powder, raw cacao powder, cacao nibs, raisins, nuts + seeds… the list goes on and on!

    So here are three of my favorite ways to make my essential superfood oats:

    1) The Everyday Power Bowl
    This is always my go-to because it provides lots of fiber and omega-3’s. The cinnamon balances your blood sugar while the maca balances your hormones and mood. All of these nutrients set you up for a perfectly healthy and happy day!

    Superfood Oats: Made Three Ways - oats with added super foods will leave you feeling balanced, energized and ready to take on the day!

    Ingredients:
    1/2 cup gluten-free rolled oats
    1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
    1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
    1 teaspoon raw maca powder
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1/4 teaspoon ground saigon cinnamon

    Toppings:
    1/2 banana, chopped
    1 handful fresh blueberries
    2 tablespoons walnut pieces

    In a small pot, boil the oats with the almond milk for about 10 minutes, or until the oats are soft and the milk is all absorbed. Transfer to a bowl, stir in the rest of the ingredients, add the toppings and enjoy!

     

    2) Cacao Bliss Bowl
     
    If you are a chocolate addict like me, you will LOVE this oatmeal. Full of antioxidants with a touch of sweetness, you can’t go wrong with this blissful bowl. The Cacao Bliss Bowl makes having chocolate first thing in the morning acceptable. 


    Superfood Oats: Made Three Ways - oats with added super foods will leave you feeling balanced, energized and ready to take on the day!
    Ingredients:

    1/2 cup gluten-free rolled oats
    1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
    1.5 tablespoons raw cacao powder
    1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
    1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
    1 teaspoon raw maca powder

    Toppings:
    3 fresh strawberries, chopped
    1 handful fresh blueberries
    2 tablespoons coconut flakes

    In a small pot, boil the oats with the almond milk for about 10 minutes, or until the oats are soft and the milk is all absorbed. Transfer to a bowl, stir in the rest of the ingredients, add the toppings and enjoy!

     

    3) Berry Chia Overnight Oats
    If you know you have a busy day coming up, prepare some overnight oats the night before so they are ready to grab and go in the morning rush. You need your morning fuel, especially on a super busy day! The oats and chia seeds combo will give you energy and keep you going until lunch.

    Superfood Oats: Made Three Ways - oats with added super foods will leave you feeling balanced, energized and ready to take on the day!
    Ingredients:
    3/4 cup gluten free rolled oats
    1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
    1.5 tablespoons chia seeds
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
    1.3 teaspoons ground saigon cinnamon (optional)

    Toppings:
    2 handfuls of fresh blueberries/raspberries
    1/2 banana, chopped

    In a mason jar, combine all of the ingredients and cover. Refrigerate for 4-8 hours and then layer in your toppings. 

    Mix it up and add whatever extras or toppings you like, I switch up the super foods all the time and always make sure to include fresh fruit for natural sweetness. All of the super foods I listed at the beginning make amazing additions to any bowl of oats, so try different ingredients and see what you like!

      Would it work using soy milk? Not a big almond milk person!

        Hi Tara – Absolutely! I should have mentioned that any kind of milk works – even water would be fine.

    yes, being a mama will always be my #1 priority bu yes, being a mama will always be my #1 priority but in that I’ve sort of lost myself.

It’s my own doing too so don’t feel bad for me 😂 because it truly never felt right to leave my girl. We are very attached. Am I crazy? Yes, probably. But I’m okay with that. I realized my baby will be FINE if I go get a professional haircut or a pampering pedicure. Idk what changed but I think it’s the fact that I’m noticing more wrinkles and my hair could use a transformation. It’s greasy, heavy and lacking life. So I’m getting a haircut this week 💇‍♀️ I’m changing to a customized hair care system AND I’m scheduling a hydra facial because my skin desperately needs hydration. My skin, hair and nervous system need some serious self care haha.

Mamas, it may not feel right just yet to prioritize you but the time will come. Just follow your intuition 🖤🖤🖤 you deserve it.

what are you guys up to today?! I’m installing our new shower filter that I can’t wait to share about, running errands, cleaning, thinking about dinner, the usual Sunday things 💗💗💗
    HANDLE NAME CHANGE!! I’ve been wanting to do th HANDLE NAME CHANGE!!

I’ve been wanting to do this for a while as a fresh start with all the changes to my “brand” in the last year. It feels right to just use my name 😀 (fun fact: I haven’t taken my hubbys last name yet because of business paperwork that I’m too lazy to figure out 😅 name changes are complicated) 

@theglowingfridge started out of my love for the plant based lifestyle but so much has changed in the last 9 years and I’ve been itching to update. Nothing else will change and my blog will still remain as is, if you still use my recipes and such. Love you all and thank you for supporting me through all these changes 🤍🤍🤍

When my blood sugar is on a nasty rollercoaster, I’m not the best mama that I know I should be for my girl. I’m more irritable and short. So I prioritize protein, healthy fats and carbs at each meal. This helps me feel balanced and provides energy to play and chase after her all day! I need all the fuel I can get.

    I don’t get ready everyday… But when I do I f I don’t get ready everyday…

But when I do I feel better, duh! And more confident. More productive. Happier in general. Of course I have super lazy days but I try to get myself together because I’m more likely to leave the house, you know mamas? I hate when people ask “why do you get ready if you’re home all day”.. 

I’m sharing different content like this because I feel like it and don’t want to be stuck in a box 😀

    I mean if you drink it everyday… It should be o I mean if you drink it everyday…

It should be organic, mold-free, tested for mycotoxins and taste delicious, etc. King coffee goes a step further with a therapeutic dose of reishi spores, the most powerful and potent part of reishi mushroom! Most other companies use the lucidum part of reishi, in case you’re wondering 👑
