Blueberry Zucchini Chocolate Chip Oatmeal
A naturally sweet, fiber-rich oatmeal made by cooking oats with frozen blueberries and grated zucchini for added volume and nutrition. Finished with protein powder for a balanced, blood sugar–supportive breakfast that’s both filling and easy to digest. I highly recommend topping your bowl with chocolate chips to round out the meal.
