TIPS

For even creamier oatmeal, after the oatmeal is poured in a bowl add and stir in one tbsp of plain yogurt, Greek yogurt, or coconut milk.
If possible, try to buy organic oat, because if your oats are not organic there is a chance you are oats will contain Glyphosate.

According to EWG.org, Glyphosate is an active ingredient in Roundup and is sprayed on American crops like oats and wheat so it can be harvested faster.

EWG reported a study done by a scientist who found 43 out of 45 non-organic oat products that had glyphosate in them.

Not knowing the amount and how much we consume of pesticides in food like non-organic wheat products is scary, as it can accumulate over time.
