This oatmeal is so delicious and nutritious you’ll want to eat it for every meal, but breakfast is probably best. You can customize it to your liking – switch fruits, or change the quantity of each ingredient, or even use low-fat instead of no-fat dairy products. I used to add salt, cinnamon and Splenda or Truvia, but I started leaving them out and discovered I didn’t miss them.
You can make a few portions of oatmeal ahead and store in refrigerator or freezer, then reheat.

Why are you using dairy products when dairy is acid forming and not part of the “caveman” diet?. You would be better off the use coconut milk\cream or almond milk as well as coconut butter\oil. Are oats considered a grain? You can make this same recipe with Quinoa as well.
