Directions

1. Place raw oats (yes, raw) in a cereal bowl.
   
2. Add the ground flax seed, this gives you healthy omega-3s. I add ground flax seeds, best to eat them ground so that they are digested. Whole flax seeds are a great source of fiber, but are not digestible, so use them ground. I buy them ground and keep them in the refrigerator.Flax seed benefits could help you improve digestion, give you clear skin, lower cholesterol, reduce sugar cravings, balance hormones, fight cancer and promote weight loss.
3. Next, add the almond milk and vanilla extract. Let oats soak while you cut up the fruit. If oats soak up all the milk, add a little water.
4. Add seasonal fruit to the bowl. Blueberries are a superfood, great for your heart and your brain. They are equally beneficial fresh or frozen, so I keep them on hand all year round.  You can sprinkle on a little Ezekiel cereal as an option, if you have the cereal on hand.
5. Sprinkle all with the cinnamon.
      
6. I also like to sprinkle on a few slivered almonds.
   
7. If you are in the mood for a hot breakfast, you can put the bowl with the milk, oats, flax seeds and raisins in the microwave for 30 seconds, or warm up the almond milk before adding it to the oats.
