    A bowl of paleo oatmeal topped with fresh blueberries and a spoon beside it.

    I decided to make a paleo oatmeal version with blueberries. Because who doesn't love blueberries? They are one of my favourite fruits. Plus they are filled with antioxidants and vitamins and have many health benefits. Everything from better memory and eyesight to positive cardiovascular effects.

    Plus they taste delicious. Which is obviously the most important thing about them.

    And the combination of bananas and coconut in this grain free oatmeal really pairs well with the blueberries. In my humble opinion. Plus there is some grass fed gelatin thrown in there for a little protein. And we all know that gelatin is a superfood right? (If not you should read this post to find out why). If you aren't eating this stuff regularly I highly recommend that you do! Your body will thank you.

      Soooo excited for this one! We love our egg-free, grain-free "oatmeals" and this one looks absolutely delicious! Will definitely be trying it out this week, especially since we are going up to the mountains for an XC skiing trip and I will be wanting a warm cereal for breakfast!

      I remember you saying you found EPIC bars, but I can't remember whether you ordered them or what. Are they good? I've been intrigued for ages, but haven't wanted to order in case I wasn't that into them, even though they sound seriously epic. Tell me more!

      Oh yes I ordered some from vitacost! I like them but they are a little different. Kind of like soft beef jerky. So not like a typical "bar" but the ingredients are super clean and safe which I like

      Coconut! I was wondering about the oatmeal part... have you tried overnight coconut? Soak overnight in coconut milk and then blend. So tasty and creamy!

      Hi Erin, so looking forward to making this tomorrow for breakfast for me and the kids. We do miss porridge/oatmeal from time to time and this certainly ticks all the boxes for nourishing food for breakfast. Thanks for sharing 😀

      Hi Erin. Quick question...can this be made and then eaten throughout a week? Or does it get too hard once it sits for a while? Seems like so much fibre and I am celiac and have UC but would like to try this in smaller servings. Thanks for the insights! Terri

      Hey Terri! You can definitely eat this throughout the week. It will firm up in the fridge due to the gelatin but I just re-heat it and add a little more coconut milk or water and it works just fine. I often make a big batch and then eat smaller portions throughout the week as snacks 🙂

      Hi! I have two questions for you...I really want to like this recipe, it really has that thick oatmeal consistency and I love that it's Whole30, but I HATE ripe bananas :(. I normally eat them when they still have some green, so every time I make this its just always too sweet for me and I can't stomach it. Question 1: Could you make this with the bananas not fully ripe? Or will the cooking process just sweeten them up anyway? Question 2: I have not added the gelatin when I make this and the shredded coconut always has a slight gritty texture to it, even when I let it sit and soften up. Is this because I don't use the gelatin, or does to shredded coconut always have that texture regardless? Like I said, there are so many things about this that I want to like. If I could tweak this just a bit, I will be eating this all the time! Would love your insight! Thanks - Alex.

        Hey Alex! Thanks for the questions! I have never tried the recipe with unripe bananas so I am not sure if it would work or not. If you try it let us know! And I don't find the texture to be gritty so I am not sure if that is because of the collagen or just the brand of shredded coconut used? That could also have an effect. Could be either!
