You’ve probably eaten oatmeal hundreds of times. But, have you ever tried eating it raw? It’s a funky adventure.
I started eating oatmeal raw one morning last summer. It was hot and I didn’t feel like cooking. So, I poured some into a bowl, threw a banana on top, added a little vanilla almond milk, and PRESTO – a masterpiece was born!
I’ve tinkered with the recipe just a bit since then. And, I’ve finally settled on what I think is a brilliant combination. But, that’s just me.
Raw Oat Blueberry Banana Nut Power Bowl
Oats are one of the most nutrient dense foods. Just half a cup contains 13 grams of protein and 10 grams of fiber. But, that’s just barely scratching the surface. There’s also an abundance of Manganese, Phosphorus, Magnesium, Copper, and Iron in oats.
Studies have repeatedly confirmed that oats help to lower cholesterol, which helps reduce the risk of heart disease. Oats also help lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes. If you’re not eating oats, it’s time to start.
And, what about the benefits of the toppings? Wow!
Blueberries are a rich source of vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin B6, folate, potassium, copper, and manganese. Blueberries have the highest amount of antioxidants in them compared to all the foods! And, they are a powerhouse when it comes to helping prevent cancer.
Bananas help lower blood pressure, help to prevent colo-rectal cancer, aid in weight-loss, and cure diabetes.
Walnuts can help prevent cancer, aid in weight management, improve heart function, and are great for brain health. Walnuts also have a positive impact on male fertility by improving sperm quality, quantity, & vitality. Plant food is MAN FOOD!
So, as you can see, this little bowl is powerful! It may be simple and quick, but it is a freaking atomic bomb in fighting disease.

Best ever! Quick and delicious; better even than overnight oats! The only change I made, was I added 1/2 t. of pure vanilla extract to my almond milk before mixing it in.
