Description

Oats are a meal-prep powerhouse. Paired with pumpkin seeds and pecans, this creamy, spiced oatmeal is a nourishing and easy meal-prep option, packed with fiber, protein, and healthy fats. Warming cinnamon and ginger enhance flavor and digestion, and a touch of maple or agave syrup adds natural sweetness. Enjoy it as is or top with fresh fruit for extra brightness.

NOTE

Eating more whole grains like oats supports heart and gut health.
