BLUEBERRY OATMEAL
You can make this oatmeal, which will take on a purple hue once the blueberries begin to burst, on top of the stove or in the microwave. It only takes about 10 minutes on top of the stove (five minutes in the microwave).

Steps:
- For the sweet crumble: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a half sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Combine the all-purpose flour, almond flour, cashews, pecans, almonds, coconut flakes, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger and salt in a large bowl. Using your fingers, add in the coconut oil and butter.

Slowly pour in the water-and-coconut-milk mixture and bring the mixture to a boil, then lower to a simmer over medium heat and cook until cooked through, about 20 minutes. Stir in the chia seeds 1 minute before serving.
- For the blueberry sauce: Put the blueberries, orange zest strip, orange juice, brown sugar, 2 tablespoons water, cinnamon and salt in a third medium saucepan over medium heat. Cover and cook until the blueberries breakdown, about 10 minutes.
- To serve: Place a ladleful of oatmeal into a bowl, top with warm blueberry sauce and sweet crumble.
BLUEBERRY OATMEAL
Oatmeal is a great way to start the day and this is a recipe I have developed over the years. It's delicious, light, and great with milk to help cool it down. You can replace the milk with soy milk, if desired. You can add the blueberries earlier in the cooking process if you like them hotter and plumper.

OATMEAL WITH BARLEY AND BLUEBERRIES
A quick yummy breakfast that is low fat, low sugar, and high fiber. I add the protein powder to give it a little extra "staying power." (You can find the natural stevia sweetner at most health food stores. I like it because it is natural, tastes good, no calories, and doesn't raise blood sugar levels.) I pre-cook the barley the night before in my rice cooker (3/4c barley + 3 cups water)
