Notes

CUSTOMIZE YOUR CREAMY OATS: 
  1. Stir in 1 tsp cocoa or cocao powder for a chocolately taste (that's healthy, too). 
  2. Stir in 1 half scoop protein powder for a protein boost.  Add 1/4 cup more milk. 
  3. Stir in 1/8 tsp almond extract and top with pitted cherries, yum! 
  4. Stir in cinnamon and chopped pecans.
