Helpful hints

• For extra sweetness drizzle with honey, agave or sweetener of choice.
• Try raspberries or blueberries instead of strawberries when in season.
• A single serving is considered as a one dish meal. If serving as a side dish, decrease portion to 1/2 cup
• For a gluten-free diet check oatmeal for "gluten-free" on the label.
