Low-Glycemic Blueberry Oatmeal

Quick and easy for this morning, this delicious breakfast will provide lasting energy, plenty of fiber, lots of antioxidants, and extra magnesium!

½ cup oats (preferably steel cut or rolled oats, NOT instant, due to their high glycemic index)

1 cup water

salt

⅓ cup frozen organic blueberries (wild blueberries if possible!)

1 tbsp pumpkin seeds

½ tbsp ground flaxseed

¼ tsp cinnamon

Prepare oats according to package directions, with water and a pinch of salt.
(I love putting steel cut oats in the crockpot overnight. Rolled oats can be cooked on the stove top in 5-8 minutes.)
Steel cut oats have the lowest glycemic load (preferable).
Rolled oats have a slightly higher glycemic load (acceptable).
Instant oats have a very high glycemic load and are discouraged.

After oats are cooked, top with cinnamon, flaxseed, pumpkin seeds, and frozen blueberries (which thaw very quickly and make this a great summer recipe too!)

Eat SLOWLY and chew well!
