Blueberry Oatmeal

This blueberry oatmeal recipe is a hearty breakfast that will give you plenty of energy to start the day. The natural sweetness of the coconut and the blueberries makes it totally kid-approved. As always I try to sneak in a little chia and flaxseed whenever possible and oatmeal is such a perfect parring. Plus this is a quick cold oatmeal recipe that includes no cooking, just mix and serve. Goodbye cereal and say hello to a delicious and healthy breakfast. Shopping tip: check the bulk section of your grocery store. I get the oats, nuts, shredded coconut, and raisins in the bulk department and they are always a better price. Oats are cheaper in bulk at my favorite store, Natural Grocers than Costco, so shop around! You can mix up a big batch of the dry ingredients and store them in a large jar. Then it is just as quick as pulling a cereal box out of the pantry and adding milk. Super helpful for those hectic weekday mornings trying to get everyone fed and out the door.
