A quick, nutritious, and delicious cereal combining fresh fruits, nuts, seeds, and oats for a refreshing morning boost. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a light dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup strawberries, hulled and quartered
  • 1 medium banana, sliced
  • 1/2 cup blueberries
  • 1/2 cup diced apple
  • 1/4 cup raw almonds, roughly chopped
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 2 tbsp sunflower seeds
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat, or coconut milk)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon powder (optional)
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash all fresh fruits thoroughly under cold water. Hull and quarter the strawberries, slice the banana, dice the apple into bite-sized pieces, and measure out the blueberries.
  2. Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Add the almonds, sunflower seeds, and chia seeds. Toast them for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant and lightly golden. Let them cool before mixing.
  3. In a mixing bowl, add the rolled oats along with the cooled toasted nuts and seeds. Toss them together to evenly distribute the crunch.
  4. Gently fold in the prepared strawberries, banana slices, blueberries, and diced apple. Be careful not to mash the softer fruits unless a creamier texture is desired.
  5. In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine your milk of choice with cinnamon powder, honey or maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract. Stir well until blended.
  6. Pour the flavored milk mixture over the cereal bowl. Stir gently to combine all ingredients, making sure everything is evenly coated but not soggy.
  7. Serve immediately to keep the fruits fresh and oats with a little bite. Optionally, chill in the fridge for 10 minutes but do not wait too long to avoid sogginess.

Notes

Toast nuts and seeds to enhance flavor and crunch. Use fresh, organic fruits for best taste and nutrients. Soak oats in milk for 5 minutes if you prefer softer texture. Avoid overripe bananas to prevent overpowering flavors. Store dry ingredients separately and add fresh fruits and milk just before eating for best texture.
