They’re also really high in fiber, which is something that a lot of people don’t really get enough of. When you get enough fiber, it can prevent you from having serious issues in the gut.  You can take a mason jar with a lid, and put ½ cup of steel cut oats, a cup of your favorite almond milk, a fruit of choice, and top with a few sliced almonds. Add a drizzle of honey for sweetness!
