Just as easy as preparing a bowl of regular oatmeal, but we’ll be amp'ing up the nutritional value by adding chia seeds. Chia seeds add extra protein, fiber, antioxidants, and Omega-3’s. Top with a dollop of Greek yogurt (or coconut/soy yogurt if keeping things Vegan) and fresh berries, nuts and seeds.
