Recipe: Baked Berry Oatmeal with a Chocolate Drizzle

I was today years old when I made my first baked oatmeal. Meal prepping has been crucial in making sure that I'm not skipping meals, caving for expensive take out, and most importantly, that I'm meeting my daily protein and fiber goals. We need sustenance for optimal gut health, movement, skin, mood, and sleep. Not to mention, a woman's hormones will suffer without consistent, nutrient dense meals. 

So I will be gathering and sharing all of the ways that I consistently meet my nutrition goals, while removing the stress and providing more ease. We are not going to add any more stress or pressure, we are removing it! Allowing for more spaciousness, to focus on presence, joy, purpose and community. 

Knowing that this sweet and satiating meal, that awaits me in my fridge, is going to detox me of microplastics and PFAS (forever chemicals) puts a joyful pep in my step. Yes beta glucans from oats and prebiotic fibers in general, are shown to remove microplastics and PFAS from the body. This recipe is truly so indulgent tasting while also providing a sense of pride and self-care! 

The way this is so fast and easy to make and is packed with 13g of protein and 6g of fiber per serving, means you have no excuses but to live your most vibrant life! Keep a version of this in your fridge and watch yourself soar. Bonus: it is dad and boyfriend approved!

I love it for breakfast or dessert or even an afternoon pick me up. Pair it with yogurt (for more protein) or with our hot cocoa for a total of 11g of fiber and 16g of protein. You can even snag both prebiotics together in our gentle duo set for extra savings. 

Keeping this in your meal prep rotation makes meeting your fiber goals way more attainable!
