Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of your choice)
- 0.5 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 0.25 cup fresh blueberries
- 0.5 cup fresh mango, diced
- 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 tablespoon chopped almonds (optional for topping)
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional for topping)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, water, and almond milk. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 7-10 minutes, or until the oatmeal reaches your desired consistency. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
Meanwhile, prepare your fresh fruit by slicing the strawberries, dicing the mango, and washing the blueberries.
Once the oatmeal is cooked, remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the honey (or maple syrup) and lime zest for a burst of summer flavor.
Divide the oatmeal into two serving bowls.
Top each bowl with equal portions of sliced strawberries, blueberries, and diced mango. Sprinkle with chopped almonds and chia seeds, if desired, for extra texture and nutrition.
Serve immediately and enjoy the vibrant flavors of summer in a comforting bowl of oatmeal.
