As the weather cools off I find myself craving oatmeal most mornings now. Even though I am in South Florida, and my idea of “cooling off” is probably very different than yours. We are no longer seeing high 80’s daily, and I take this as a win. Fall is finally arrived. Bring on the chunky sweaters and the oatmeal, I’m here for it.

Lately I have been loving this new blended oatmeal from Trader Joe’s that is gluten free. It’s packed with oats, flax seeds, chia seeds, quinoa, and amaranth. This high fiber and high protein blend is loaded with nutrients and is super anti-inflammatory, I can’t think of a better way to start the day!

I have always blended my oatmeal with almond milk vs water, seems creamier and heartier to me. My favorite almond milk to use is MALK, it’s super clean and has minimal ingredients. If you aren’t going to make it yourself, this is the next best thing.

I love topping my oatmeal with fresh berries, cinnamon and pumpkin seeds for added nutrients and a crunch factor!

The high fiber and high protein in this recipe keep me full for hours, and the cinnamon keeps my blood sugar levels steady. This is an excellent way to start the day!
