I love it when I discover some new food idea that I’ve never heard of before.
It’s especially great when it’s easy and/or healthy and I have all the ingredients to try it. This is one of those times. Okay, have you ever heard of blended oats? I came across the idea on pinterest recently and it was one of those mind-blown moments. I don’t know why I’ve never thought of it before. It’s not complicated at all. The texture is like a slightly grainy yogurt and the flavor is super versatile.
For this recipe I added fresh berries and whole oranges but you could honestly use any type of fruit. Actually, there are pretty much endless possibilities for what you can add as a flavoring. I’m thinking how amazing this would be with chocolate and peanut butter!
I also love that it can be made ahead for a grab and go breakfast. Basically, this is just my new fascination because it’s a great way to even get kids that hate oatmeal to try it.
If you decide to try it I’d love to know what you think!
Berry Orange Blended Oats (Vegan+GF)
Getting tired of your basic oats in the morning? Let's switch things up for Summer!
Prep Time 10 minutes
Servings 4 - 6 servings
Ingredients
Berry Oats:
1 cup oats
1 cup fresh or frozen mixed berries
1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk or any plant-based milk
1-2 tablespoons maple syrup, or to taste (or sweetener of choice)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Orange Oats:
1 cup oats
1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk or any plant-based milk
1 whole orange, peeled and separated into pieces
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
1-2 tablespoons maple syrup, or to taste (or sweetener of choice)
Instructions
Combine all the ingredients for the orange oats in a blender or food processor and blend well. To get it very smooth it took me about 3 minutes.
Scrape into a sealable container and repeat for berry oats. It can be eaten immediately but for best texture I recommend leaving it in the fridge for at least an hour.
Serve in a bowl or layered in jars like the pictures with more fresh berries and whatever add-ins you'd like.
Recipe plz @gringalicious
In the fridge for one hour? What it I don't feel like eating it that cold? Will it still taste quite well without putting it in the fridge?
This is quite new and interesting
No need to eat it cold if you do not want to, you have total food freedom. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment @josediccus
Okay, definitely nice. You're welcome and thanks for your supports too.
Happy Mother's Day!
That's definitely a good way of surprising any mother and have some good moments together! At least I know this would make my mother really happy right now since we haven't seen each other for already a few months..
I hope you are able to see you mother soon! Thanks so much for stopping by @gabielatravels
