- Instant Oatmeal – you can use pre-made oatmeal, or quick oats. I like this instant oatmeal as it’s organic, sustainably sourced, and tastes fantastic.
- Ground Flaxseeds: I always add a scoop in my oatmeal for a little extra nutritional punch! This flaxseed meal has a wonderful nutty flavor too. Flaxseeds have a ton of amazing health benefits, so add a scoop to breakfasts, lunches, or smoothies!
- Cinnamon: which gives this dish a subtle spice-y flavor! I love to add in a pinch for extra warmth and depth of flavor.
- Water or Almond Milk – plain and unsweetened! The higher the fat content, the creamier the milk will be.
- Walnuts: because I love adding heart-healthy and brain-healthy ingredients to my foods when I can. I stocked up a few bags of these walnuts which are super cheap and a great value for the quality.
