My Unusual Breakfast Obsession – New Healthy Breakfast Ideas!
MY HEALTHY BREAKFAST OBSESSION
An unusual new healthy breakfast idea
In this post and video, I’m going to be sharing an unusual healthy breakfast recipe – that I am currently obsessed with! I’m also going to be showing you two different ways that I love to make this recipe.
If you’re looking for a new breakfast idea or maybe just something fun to try, then this recipe is for you. And PS, it may look super fancy and like a lot of effort – but it’s actually not complicated at all.
This recipe makes a nice balanced breakfast meal, it contains good carbs, healthy fats and good protein too.
Make sure that you check out the video (below), where I’ll show you (step-by-step) how to make this breakfast obsession of mine. I hope that you love it as much as I do!

HOW DID THIS EVEN HAPPEN?
But how did this recipe even happen?
Have you ever woken up and been like “Do I want oatmeal for breakfast, or do I want a smoothie?” – and you just can’t decide. This happens to me all the time, for real.
Well my friend, I have solved this dilemma for you – just have both! Have half a bowl of oatmeal, and have half a bowl of smoothie. Have a bowl of Smoatmeal (or Smoats? or Ooothie?)
If this is already a thing, then I don’t know… but maybe you can come up with a better name for this healthy breakfast creation?! If you have a better idea for a name, then let me know in the comments below (or in the comments section of this video on YouTube).
Plain and simple, what this recipe is – is half a smoothie bowl, and half a bowl of overnight oats. First I’m showing you a blueberry-chocolate version, and second I’ll be showing you a reverse chocolate-vanilla version.

*May need less water if yogurt is used instead of avocado
*Berries must be frozen for best result

-toppings: garnish with fresh (or frozen) raspberries (or strawberries, or blueberries, or even banana slices)
-eat with a spoon, and make sure that you get a bit of all of the flavors together on your spoon (aka some oats, some smoothie and some toppings)
