• If you prefer a sweeter oatmeal, add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
• Make it a High Protein Meal Prep by preparing a larger batch and storing it in the fridge for quick breakfasts throughout the week.

This oatmeal is delicious on its own, but you can also serve it with:

• A dollop of Greek yogurt for extra creaminess.
