    I never get tired of wholesome oatmeal loaded with seasonal goodies like this Blood Orange and Chocolate Oatmeal.  Made easily in the microwave and full of citrus flavor.  {gluten free, vegan, dairy free}

    Why do I love oatmeal so much?  It's so satisfying and loaded with nutrients...

    • high in fiber
    • rich in antioxidants
    • can help control blood sugar
    • contain vitamins and minerals like manganese, phosphorous, magnesium, and copper (from Healthline)

    two bowls of oatmeal with blood oranges and chocolate I could top oatmeal with different delicious toppings 365 days out of the year. In fact, I try to come up with new toppings each week and share a photo on Instagram.  I prefer making my oatmeal in the microwave because it's fast and produces a nice consistency. 

    • Add ½ cup gluten free instant oats to a bowl with about ½-3/4 a cup of water and a dash of salt. (Don't skip the salt it makes it so tasty!)
    • Cook for 1 minute in the microwave and stir.
    • I like to add Califia plain almond milk until I get my desired consistency.
    • Then... the BEST part... the toppings!
