TIPS: - if lactose intolerant replace the milk with water and 1/2 scoop p-powder. OR if you have been doing your homework in reguards with what works best in your body, sub in; goats milk or yogurt
- do not like coconut :-(
Simply take it out, cook oats with water, but you MUST add some fat to this oatmeal to remain in hormonal balance and not turn too acidic. Add 1-2 tbsp natural nut butter (in photo)

so the coconut is a fat?
Also, why large oat? Can you do this with steelcut oats?

There is a little fat in the milk, whey protein, and yes coconut milk.

Yes you can use steal cut oats for sure.
I always mix my oats up between steal cut and large flake, my body produces different amounts of food enery from both. Try them both out and test this on yourself.
