Ingredients
Makes 1-2 Servings
- 1/2 cup (120mL) rolled oats
- 1 cup (240mL) unsweetened plant milk (e.g., almond, soy, oat)
- 1/4 cup (60 mL) freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1/2 (2.5 mL) teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Zest of 1/2 orange
- 1/2 cup (120mL) mixed berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, etc.)
- Melon (cantaloupe, honeydew, or watermelon)
- Additional orange slices
Directions
-
Cook the oats.
In a small saucepan, combine the rolled oats and plant milk. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the oats are creamy and fully cooked (about 5–7 minutes).
-
Add flavor.
Once the oats are cooked, stir in the orange juice and vanilla extract. For an extra citrusy flair, add a little orange zest.
-
Assemble your bowl.
Pour the oatmeal into a serving bowl. Top with fresh berries and any fruit you like. If you opted not to mix orange juice into your oats, serve orange slices on the side for a classic combo, or pop 'em on top of your oats.
-
Serve with sliced melon and enjoy!
This breakfast is light, refreshing, and packed with fiber, antioxidants, and hydration – perfect for supporting a healthy weight loss journey.
