Tips:
- Go for old fashioned rolled oats that have not been pre-cut or cooked
- Keep the variety-- change your toppings to get the same whole grain benefits with different flavors!
- Use the microwave for quick, on-the-go preparation
- Soak oats, water or milk, and any toppings you'd like in a tupperware or jar in the fridge overnight for a cool, summer twist on a breakfast favorite
