Mixing chia seeds in oats is my favorite breakfast to prep for my family. If you don’t know much about chia seeds, here’s a little article for you to review. In short, chia seeds carry some excellent benefits that will have you and your body jumping for joy!
What I like about the article is that chia seeds contain Omega 3 (ω-3 alpha-linolenic acid) and Omega 6 (ω-3 alpha-linolenic acid), which are fatty acids that can help our bodies with cell function and reduce inflammation as long as they aren’t used in excess. I also like that the chia seeds cannot be genetically modified. So, if you’re tired of seeing that “partially produced with genetic engineering” label on your food, I don’t think chia seeds will have that problem.
Alright, so today we will be cooking up some oats with chia seeds, wheat germ, and a pop of blueberries.
‼️Allergy Tip: If you struggle with celiac disease, gluten intolerance or a wheat allergy, push wheat germ out of the way!

Ingredients
- 2 Cups Oats
- 1-2 Tbsp Wheat Germ
- 1 Tbsp Chia Seed
- ½ Cup Blueberries Any Fruit

- ¼ Tsp Nutmeg
Instructions
- Bring water or milk to a boil with medium-high heat, then add the oatmeal.

- Add nutmeg and ceylon cinnamon to enhance the taste. Remember to stir the spices in thoroughly.
- Remove from the heat, but let it stand for 1 minute before digging in. Drizzle some honey on top and finish with a bunch of blueberries. You can’t go wrong with blueberries!
