The 3-Berry Oatmeal Recipe Doctors Swear By To Shrink Your Waistline Over 50

To make Mazzucco’s healthy berry oatmeal recipe, you will need one cup of whole milk, one cup of old fashioned oats, one cup of frozen berries, a quarter teaspoon of vanilla extract, a quarter teaspoon of cinnamon and a pinch of salt. That means that this delicious and sweet recipe doesn’t include any added sugars!

Mazzucco said that you can also top your oatmeal with any additional fresh berries of your choice, like raspberries or blackberries, as well as vanilla yogurt, crushed hazelnuts, sliced banana, and/or a tablespoon of maple syrup.

“You will need to mix berries, cinnamon, salt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and oats over medium heat. Then crush the berries, turn the heat to low, cover, and let the mixture cook for five more minutes,” Mazzucco told us. “Lastly, pour your oatmeal into a bowl and top with additional berries, nuts, and vanilla yogurt.”

Mazzucco did not specify which three berries to use in your oatmeal, but we recommend a combination of strawberries, blueberries and raspbrries.

Strawberries are loaded with fiber and antioxidants, while blueberries have been known to promote younger-looking skin and raspberries are rich in potassium and omega-3. Not to mention these three berries taste very good together.
