Vanilla Chia Oatmeal Recipe

VANILLA CHIA OATMEAL

As many of you know, getting healthier is important to me. I’ve struggled with my weight pretty much my entire adult life. The struggle is real. Currently, with my back injury finally getting better, I’m starting to walk more and once all better I can go to they gym. Most of mornings start with a healthy breakfast and today I’m sharing my recipe for vanilla chia oatmeal. As a Jamaican, I grew up eating oatmeal porridge as a child. As an adult, I’ve tried to make it healthier in many ones and this one is one of them. I love pottery and the bowl I photographed the recipe in is from Kindred Made. It’s artfully rustic and I love the little hole on handle where my thumb easily fits in. I take food in the car with this bowl all the time because it’s so easy to carry.
