Pomegranate and Blueberry Oatmeal

Another way that I have enjoyed oatmeal recently. Tastes wonderful topped with sliced or slivered almonds. Make sure that you use the milk--it gives the oatmeal an excellent creamy texture. This may not be for everyone's tastes since the seeds are a bit crunchy, but I think that it adds a nice texture constrast to the creaminess of the oatmeal.
