Why It's Healthy: Chia Seeds are a great source of Omega-3 fatty acids, and combined with oats and berries make this breakfast rich in antioxidants.
Why It Works for Weight Loss: Oatmeal leaves you satisfied longer, so you’ll eat less and be full until lunch, due to the high fiber content. One cup of oatmeal has 4 grams of fiber.
Chef's notes

Leftovers: Refrigerate in an airtight container up to 3-5 days. Freeze if longer.
No applesauce? Use mashed banana instead.
No almonds? Replace with pecans, walnuts, pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds.
