These 5-minute blueberry “superfood” oats are a quick and nutritious way to start the day. Oats provide fiber and essential nutrients that support heart health and digestion. This bowl adds “superfoods” like flaxseeds, chia seeds, and blueberries, which are all renowned for their health benefits.

Chia and flaxseeds bring fiber and plant-based protein, making this meal great for busy mornings. The blueberries add natural sweetness and are packed with vitamins. A drizzle of maple syrup and a spoonful of nut butter make the oats even more tasty. You can top them with fresh berries or banana slices for extra flavor.

Since it takes just five minutes to make, this is a great go-to breakfast when you’re short on time. Whether you’re fueling up for a workout or just need something fast, this meal is an easy choice. This recipe comes from Jillian Glenn from her cookbook Healthy Vegan Breakfasts and Lunches.
