Whether you are trying to increase your fiber intake, or watch your cholesterol, your food shouldn’t be boring. Below I have listed my favorite mix-ins for this oatmeal in particular. Feel free to get creative by adding your favorite dried fruits, fresh fruits, etc.

Angie’s Favorite Mix-Ins

  • Nut butter
