Before we begin, let’s focus on what we’re making. SUPERFOOD power!

This recipe uses frozen blueberries, making it incredibly convenient and easy to make. Packed with superfoods like chia seeds, flaxseed,and antioxidant-rich blueberries, these overnight oats will fuel your body for the day ahead!

Phew, now that we know this recipe will make us feel SUPER, let’s chat about the habits we need to create to make that feeling last. .

I’m a firm believer of creating healthy habits. But here’s the thing….

In order to make healthy habits stick, we first need to define what’s healthy to us and then make it CONVENIENT!

Yes, even right smack in the middle of the holidays and after, am I right?

To me, healthy eating means making time to create healthy meal prep meals. It means focusing on properly FUELING our bodies.
I knowthat is sometimes easier said than done. It helps to be sure healthy foods are always in the refrigerator and pantry, ready to grab and eat when the urge strikes.⁣

For that reason, I love having a stash of frozen fruit in the freezer. It’s especially convenient in the winter months when it can be difficult to find good quality fresh produce. Nothing worse than paying off-season prices for a pint of blueberries, only to find that half of the container is mushy, bland fruit, am I right?

Thankfully, frozen blueberries are here to save the day. Or in this case, to save the healthy meal prep breakfast!

Health Benefits of Blueberries

These little blue gems are called superfoods for a good reason – they are packed with nutrition!

FACTS: one serving (a handful or a cup) of blueberries provides 15 percent of the daily recommended amount of vitamin C. Vitamin C helps the immune system work like a charm.

Frozen blueberries picked at the peak of ripeness and individually quick-frozen (IQF) preserve their taste and nutritional density.

Superfood Overnight Oatmeal

Blueberries and Cream Overnight Oatmeal has not one, not two, but THREE superfood mix ins! Actually more but here are my top three!

• Antioxidant-rich blueberries
• Chia seeds and Flax seeds –these little seedsare very rich inomega–3fatty acids and fiber. Although, chia seeds have even more so than flax seeds. OMG!
• Cinnamon – rich in antioxidants and can help to fight fungal, bacterial, and viral elements in foods

This healthy meal prep breakfast is high in fiber, rich in omega 3 fatty acids, vegan, dairy-free, and gluten free.

BONUS SUPERFOOD FACT about Gluten Free Oats- Soaking the oats overnight breaks down the phytic acid in the grain. Which allows for better nutrient absorption and easier digestion.
