- Enhance with flavor: Once the oats are simmering, stir in protein milk, turmeric, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice.
- Cook thoroughly: Allow oats to cook for more than 10 minutes to enhance their flavor, texture, and nutrient absorption—especially beneficial for those with IBS or sensitive stomachs.
