10 min. Nutritious Gluten Free Chia Oats

It seems appropriate to share one of my most consistent recipes as my first post, this oatmeal appears on my breakfast rotation so much!

Oatmeal provides a healthy portion of fats, complex carbs, and plant protein — along with iron and Vitamin B. One of the reasons I love oatmeal is the beta glucan soluble fiber leaves you satiated for a while which means you can power through your busy day without feeling hungry for a while. On top of being one of the healthiest breakfast choices, you can modify your bowl however you want! 

This is my favorite way to prepare it:
