Notes

Feel free to customize the fruit according to the season; mixed berries are refreshing in summer while diced apples with cinnamon are great in winter. Experiment with different types of milk such as almond milk or oat milk for added flavor. Consider preparing portions of oats and chia seeds ahead of time for a quicker morning routine. This recipe is adaptable for dietary preferences; use nut butter for extra protein or substitute non-dairy milk for lactose intolerance. Leftover cooked oatmeal can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days; reheat with a splash of liquid.
