Strawberry Oatmeal. Strawberry oatmeal is a super healthy breakfast loaded with healthy ingredients like strawberries, beet root powder, chia seed jam, and more! Plus, the pink color is just so pretty to look at!
My strawberry oatmeal is made with no sugar, and is gluten free, low FODMAP, dairy free, and vegan friendly.
IS STRAWBERRY OATMEAL GOOD FOR YOU?
YES! Strawberry oatmeal is an excellent healthy breakfast option. My strawberry oatmeal recipe is high in fiber, vitamin C, calcium, iron, and protein! One bowl of strawberry oats has 347 calories, 10 grams protein, 52 grams carbs, 12 grams fiber, and 10 grams of fat. That is almost half the fiber you need in an entire day! Plus, ⅓ your calcium for the day, and meets your vitamin C needs!
TIPS ON MAKING THE BEST STRAWBERRY OATMEAL
Use fruit inside the oatmeal and on top. Fruit inside oatmeal really adds a LOT of flavor. As the fruits cook, they release the juice into the oats.
Cook over medium heat. If you use low heat, it might take too long, and high heat could burn your oats.
Stir your oatmeal constantly as it cooks. That way, you will prevent oats from being stuck to the bottom of the pan and burning.
Use more liquid if needed. There is nothing worst than super thick gummy oats. Definitely add more liquid as you cook your oats if you don't like the consistency.
Don't skimp on the toppings! Add as many toppings as you want! Some of my most favorite healthy toppings are on this oatmeal bowl like cashew butter and hemp seeds.
