TIPS & VARIATIONS

Adjust the texture – For creamier oats, use more almond milk. For thicker oats, let them simmer a little longer.

🍎 Add toppings – Try sliced apples, a few pecans, or a sprinkle of cacao nibs for crunch and flavor.

🥥 Swap the milk – Use coconut milk for a richer, creamier fall flavor.

🍌 Natural sweetness – Mash in half a ripe banana instead of monk fruit for a naturally sweet twist.

🥜 Nut butter swirl – Stir in a teaspoon of almond or cashew butter for extra creaminess and a cozy fall flavor boost.

🌱 Extra protein – Add a few spoonfuls of hemp seeds or chia seeds to bump up your protein and healthy fats (just keep it within your Lifestyle Integration guidelines).

🧑‍🍳 Meal prep tip – Make a double batch and reheat with a splash of almond milk for busy weekday mornings.
