Notes

To make the cooking faster in the morning, I am going to soak some old-fashioned oats in the night before and in the morning I just have to drain them and heat them along with some plant-based milk.
The reason I am using old-fashioned oats or rolled oats, it’s because, from all of the oat types, this has for me the best ration in terms of cooking time and nutritional value. They have the fibers almost intact and for that reason conserve a better nutritional profile, promoting your satiety and gut health.
The amount of milk will depend on your preference in terms of the oatmeal consistency, so adjust accordingly
