Is it healthy to put peanut butter in oatmeal?
Peanut butter is a great way to add protein to oatmeal and makes it extra-creamy. If you’re looking for even more protein, try making this oatmeal with some lactose-free milk instead of water. There are so many possibilities!
What mixes well with oatmeal?
Aside from the obvious, which is peanut butter and fresh fruit, other great mix-ins for oatmeal include bananas, chocolate chips and walnuts. Or, you can also try freshly diced apples and cinnamon. Another one of my personal favourites is peaches and plain greek yogurt.
Is it OK to eat oatmeal more than once a day?
Oatmeal can absolutely be enjoyed on a daily basis. Eating oatmeal more than once a day can be a great affordable, delicious and easy option. However, if eating oatmeal begins to displace other nutritious foods and a varied diet it might be valuable to determine the reason why you are eating oatmeal more than once a day. Get in touch with a registered dietitian if you are concerned about your eating habits or overall meal balance.

Instead of cooking the oats with water could they be soaked overnight in just the milk & the other ingredients?
Yes they absolutely could! I like to do that and then heat in the morning, but you could eat cold like overnight oats as well! Thanks Trish!
