Submitted by hungrygirl_lisa

Maximize your oats! By using twice as much liquid and cooking for twice as long as the traditional oatmeal method, it's possible to get an extra-large bowl of hot cereal out of an ordinary serving of oats. The Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Breeze helps keep it creamy and flavorful for less than HALF the calories of fat-free dairy milk.
