Rise n' Shine!

I don't know about you, but my breakfast was bangin' this morning!  Rolled oats, blueberries, flax seeds and a little maple syrup.  And to drink - a very berry smoothie!  This meal is incredibly satisfying, super nutritious, and a snap to make.  Only a handful of ingredients make it something you can whip up a few mornings a week - and it'll keep you going until lunch-time.

  • 1/2 cup thick-cut rolled oats
  • a handful of dried, frozen or fresh blueberries
  • 1/4 cup flax seeds
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
Throw everything except the maple syrup into a pot and bring to a boil.  Turn down the heat and allow to simmer until oats are soft.  Remove from heat and let stand for 3-5 minutes.  Scoop into your favorite bowl and top with maple syrup.


Very Berry Smoothie:
  • 1 cup frozen raspberries
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
Throw all above into blender and liquefy on high until completely mixed.

Enjoy the day!
