Welcome to Foodie Friday! I’ll be linking up with Annmarie from the Fit Foodie Mama + Esther from Chocolate Runner Girl–this week’s theme = Vegan!
As a Barleans blogger, I was provided free products to develop a recipe for Barleans #seriouslydeliciousomega. As always, all thoughts + opinions are mine and mine alone.
The Omega-3 Flax Strawberry Banana Smoothie has is creamy + delicious enough that I’d actually eat it by the spoonful (it’s like a spoonful of dessert! :O ), and all you need is a tablespoon per day! It’s 3x more absorbable than regular flax oil and has 2968mg vegan ALA omega-3’s per tablespoon.
- Non-GMO
- Gluten-Free
- Vegan
- Kosher
- No artificial flavors, colors or sweeteners
- No added sugar
The inspiration for this recipe stems from my love of smoothie bowls. There are two places (Playa Bowls + Frutta Bowls) within walking distance from me that offer them, but much as I love em’, $8 for an oatmeal bowl is rather steep. I figured I might as well make my own for way, way cheaper!
I chose to use the Strawberry Banana Smoothie Omega Swirl for this recipe, but they also have a vegan omega-3 swirl in Pomegranate Blueberry Smoothie, Chocolate Mint, and Blackberry Smoothie! You can make this on the stove, in your rice cooker, in your microwave…do whatever you want! You can swirl some of it right into the oatmeal!
As the weather’s getting a lot cooler, I’m looking forward to starting (or, well, ending, since I’m currently on night shift!) my mornings with variations of this oatmeal bowl! It’ll help me to use up all the things I have in my pantry! :]

I’ve never been a fan i oatmeal for breakfast but I love that you added more textures to it so that it’s not just mush!
hehe, I’m not the biggest fan of just the mushy texture either so I usually try to dress it up with stuff! :]
I love smoothie bowls! I haven’t heard of this product but I”ll have to keep an eye out!
Hope you get to try it sometime! It’s like dessert on a spoon! :D

I’m a horrible morning person, so breakfast is definitely one of the few things that motivates me to get up early in the morning, hahaha. :P
This sounds great! I have oatmeal almost every morning because it’s fast to prepare and so filling.
I used to as well and I’m really not sure why I stopped–definitely gonna have to get back into it though!
I just started doing oatmeal earlier this year and I am probably the last blogger to try overnight oats…haha. This looks yummy!
hehehe, that’s okay! Better late than never! I used to start every day with oatmeal and I’m not sure why I stopped, but I’m gonna have to get back on it!
That looks so good. It’s one really nutritious meal. Just what I like in the morning. Love that you added hemps seeds.
Yay! Thank you! :] I wanted to load it up with nutrients! :]
Yum, this looks so delicious! I absolutely love anything with strawberries in it!!
Me too! They’re one of my favorite fruits! :]
That looks great. I love having some form of oatmeal for breakfast and am always looking for a new way to fix it.
Thank you! :] I’m definitely gonna have to experiment with lots of different flavors! :D!
That omega swirl sounds super cool. What a great way to jazz up oats.
