Clean Eating Lemon Blueberry Oatmeal Recipe
This delicious clean eating lemon blueberry oatmeal makes for a high fiber start to your day!
I love a good bowl of morning oatmeal. Few things start the day off better for me. There’s something about holding that warm bowl between my hands and breathing in the nutty, earthy yet sweet aroma of a breakfast that is just waiting to nourish my body from head to toe.
I love this combination of lemon and blueberries too. For me, it’s a classic combination. I’m not sure why, but the two just naturally go together.
And don’t get freaked out by the egg whites either. All they do is add some protein to the mix. You can’t taste them, and if you mix them in fast enough, you won’t see them either. You don’t HAVE to add them, but it’s an easy way to add some protein to a higher carb breakfast. It just gives you some balance.
Give it a try!

Oatmeal is my fav. breakfast too, Tiffany! I like the lemon zest you added for flavor in the porridge.
Sanjeeta – Thanks! It gives it a very robust flavor!
I love oatmeal, but I’ve never tried to cook my eggs with it. I will have to try this tomorrow. Great blog. I’m enjoying looking around.
Scrapmom – Ya, it makes it easy. I get a little tired of eating hard boiled egg whites, so this is a great way to “get around” that. Enjoy!
I never thought of adding lemon, hmmm had fresh blueberries in my oatmeal this morning, tomorrow and I will add lemon too
Rebecca – Hope you enjoy it! I absolutely adore any breakfast cereal with lemon in it. Yum!
Lovely recipe 🙂 I don’t like blueberries so had raspberries instead yummy
Helen – That sounds wonderful! Glad you enjoyed it!
Tiffany–lemon and blueberry is EASILY one of my favorite flavor combination. If I bake it, I like to add egg whites and a little Greek yogurt. If I cook it on the stove top I just enjoy the oats, blueberries, lemon, and sometimes a splash of milk.
Katrina – You know, I really need to try baking my oatmeal. I did it once and loved it, but for some reason haven’t done it since. Thanks for the reminder!
I love it baked as well, but I often don’t have the patience to wait on it! lol
Katrina – LOL! A woman after my own heart! When it’s time for breakfast, it’s TIME. FOR. BREAKFAST. lol
Ah, oatmeal with egg whites! What an idea, one which I have never thought of. Cool. 🙂 And, oh, yes, blueberries and lemon are perfect together.
Sarah – I agree. They are just a natural flavor combination!
I love Blueberries with my oatmeal. I usually do Oatmeal, Blueberries, Almonds and Cinnamon.
Angie – Oh! That sounds yummy!
I made this in the crockpot overnight (added eggs and blueberries this morning)… I added flaxseed and almonds to mine this morning as well, because I put those in everything. This recipe was really good, the lemon and blueberry were refreshing. I used blue agave as my sweetener. Also I made it 4 servings instead of 2. Thanks for all your recipes! They don’t all have to be my favorites, you do a really great job. If I were to rate it I would give it 4/5.. Fresh and different for sure.
I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Can these oatmeal recipes made with eggs be cooked a head of time and eaten all week?
I wouldn’t keep them longer than 3 days. But you can certainly leave the egg out and get your protein another way.
I have everything but the lemon, but I do have lime! I want to try this recipe, but should I try it with the lime, or just leave the lime out?
Judy – Personally, I love blueberries and lime together. If it were me, I’d try it.
