Quick Layered Blueberry Oat Jars…and let’s chat PREbiotics!

July 15, 2018 by Christal

Hemsley is full of words these days. Her brain is seriously a little sponge, the more we say a certain word, the more likely she is to say it back. Over the last month she’s perfected “aunty”, “uncle”, “ dino” (her big stuffed dinosaur), “eggs”, “ball”, “baby”, “water”, and “berries”.. although she says it more like “bawwwies”. 

Hemsley LOVES berries. Blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, and blackberries, she loves them all and typically tends to tie-dye her clothes whenever she eats them. I love berries too and lately we’ve both been loading up on blueberries.

This time of year blueberries are so flavourful, juicy, and fresh! I knew it was time to incorporate these little blues into a recipe so today I’ve teamed up with BiomeBliss to bring you these delicious Layered Blueberry Oat Jars.

This recipe brings in the delicious flavour of overnight oats but comes together in a snap… no waiting! Aside from the amazing taste the jars are also loaded with ‘biome boosting prebiotics.

Yep, PREbiotics.

You may be more familiar with PRObiotics, the bacteria found in supplements and some foods that help to colonize the gut with healthy bacteria, but PREbiotics on the other hand are the foods that help to FEED the bacteria in your intestines to help them thrive and grow.

While it’s great to take probiotics to help bring more healthy bacteria into your body, the best way to build a better microbiome is to also feed that bacteria.

This delicious jar recipe contains naturally occurring prebiotics called beta-glucans which come from oats that help protect the mucus lining of the gut and support the immune system. It also contains specific antioxidants from blueberries that stimulate the growth of healthy bacteria that boost microbiome health.

While it would be great to eat tons of oats and blueberries all day every day, that likely doesn’t happen for most of us, so BiomeBliss has created a delicious, natural berry-flavored powder that mixes easily with water for convenience, or you can add the powder to recipes like this one.

The powder is formulated with nutrients isolated from blueberries, agave and oats providing those same beta-glucans, antioxidants, and inulin to feed your good gut bacteria!

In this recipe I blended the BiomeBliss powder with fresh blueberries to create the first layer, a smoothie-like consistency with great blueberry flavour. Next, I topped the blueberry layer with blended “overnight oats”… less the overnight part.

Chia seeds, oats, cinnamon, coconut yogurt, and vanilla create a rich and creamy lather that’s filling and so nice for your digestion. A little layer of natural unsweetened nut butter, fresh blueberries, and a perfect drizzle of honey (which you can also forego for a sugarless option) finishes the jars which can be easily closed shut and taken on-the-go!

    I was wondering why the prebiotic contains sugar alcohol?

      Hi DMM, I will connect with the brand for a specific answer and get back to you but I believe it is because the product contains no added sugars and erythritol is a natural plant based compound that adds sweetness without having an impact on blood sugar levels.

      Hi DMM – from BiomeBliss – “The sugar alcohol erythritol is added to make the blend taste good. We want BiomeBliss to be fun to take and we want consumers to be compliant if they are in a program for weight management or blood sugar control. Erythritol is a natural product and is quickly absorbed in the small intestine and 90%+ excreted undigested in the urine. It does not disturb the gut microbiome and is safe, even in large quantities.”
