Notes
Low FODMAP? Choose hemp milk (low FODMAP) over soy milk (high FODMAP). Allergic to almonds? Opt for peanut butter or sunflower seed butter.
You can use quick oats, if that's what you've got...but you'll want to use 1/4 cup less milk otherwise it will be too liquidy. Or, you could just add a bit of extra chia seeds.
