Helpful hints

  • Look for almond milk without added phosphate additives. If added calcium is a concern try Califia® brand vanilla almond milk.
  • Add one teaspoon ground cinnamon instead of cinnamon sticks if preferred.
  • Other milk substitutes include soy, rice or coconut milk beverage.
  • Add sweetener of choice if you prefer sweet oatmeal.
  • Add a scoop of whey protein powder to boost the protein in this recipe.
