This is delicious! Used frozen blueberries, zucchini and honey. Will definitely make this again. Thanks for sharing.
So glad you enjoyed, Carrie! I just made this today with frozen blueberries too. Such a great way to be easily enjoy this year round!
This sounds delish! Planning on making with frozen berries today. Do I need to defrost them first or just mix them in frozen? Thanks!
I usually just mix them in frozen. Heads up, they will make your oatmeal purple, but just as tasty!
This recipe is amazing! I made it with almond milk and added chia and collagen. Turned out perfect. I travel a lot for work, so this is a perfect meal prep for my travels. I will absolutely make this again. Thank you!
