Blueberry Oatmeal Blueberry oatmeal is one of my favorite blueberry recipes and it’s a delicious way to start your day. You can also eat this chilled later on or chill it overnight in the fridge and have it the next day.

½ cup rolled oats (gluten-free if necessary)
½ cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
¼ cup water
pinch of salt (optional)

Directions: Add the oats, water, almond milk ,vanilla, and salt to a small pot on your stove. Bring to a boil and stir just as it starts to boil for about a minute.

Add some cinnamon to taste and stir in some stevia if you want it sweeter.

Blueberry Juice

Blueberry Juice It can’t get much easier than this ladies: all you need is a juicer to make this recipe. If you don’t have one, you can use your blender and strain it through a colander to remove the pulp. Use the pulp for leftover muffins and smoothies or just top your yogurt with it. This juice is rich in vitamins and minerals, not to mention a great lower sugar alternative to grape juice.

Serves: 1

1 cup fresh blueberries

Directions: Run all the ingredients through your juicer and serve over ice.

Blueberry Protein Pancakes

Blueberry Protein Pancakes If you’re a fitness buff or a low-carb eater, then you’re probably a fan of protein pancakes like I am. They make for the perfect breakfast and won’t spike your blood sugar in the least little bit. Now you can have your pancakes and eat them too!

Serves: 1 (2 cakes)
Ingredients:
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
2 tablespoons coconut flour (or you can use rolled oats)
¼ cup egg whites
¼ cup almond milk
¼ cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Directions: Add all the ingredients to your blender or stir in a bowl to puree everything together. Feel free to add cinnamon or ginger to add some extra flavor. Coat a nonstick skillet with cooking spray and scoop half the batter into the pan. Cook on medium heat on one side for three minutes until they start to firm up on the bottom, then flip with a spatula to cook on the other side. Repeat with the remaining batter and enjoy your pancakes alone or with yogurt, sugar-free syrup, or no sugar added jam.

Blueberry Chia Fresca

Serves: 1
Ingredients:
1 cup water (or almond milk for a creamy version)
2 tablespoons chia seeds
½ cup fresh blueberries

Directions: Add all the ingredients to a small glass, give them a stir, and let them sit for at least one hour to thicken. Eat with a spoon or sip on it very slowly and chew the berries and chia seeds for optimal digestion. Enjoy!

These recipes aren’t your traditional pie and cobbler recipes you’re likely used to this time of year but they are downright tasty, and so healthy for you too. What’s your favorite way to eat blueberries?

#6 Love this! The only variation is that I use Arctic Flavors blueberry powder instead of fresh or frozen berries. Much easier to use and tastes really good.
