■  Add your favorite flavor combos.
■  Seal tightly, and store in the pantry until ready to use. (For freshest flavor use within 10 days)

Prepping “Instant” Oatmeal Jars

When ready to SERVE:
■  Pour 1 cup BOILING HOT water, or milk (unsweetened almond, coconut, or cashew milk are favs at our house) into each jar. (note:  These jars can handle the heat because they are made for canning & high heat)
■  Let sit for 10-20 minutes(depending on the consistency you like), while you finish your morning routine.
■  Grab a spoon, and enjoy on-the-GO!
