Meatless Monday’s: Banana Breakfast Oats
There’s something downright magical about a breakfast that feels indulgent yet is secretly wholesome. Enter: Banana Breakfast Oats.

Add your favorite crunchy nuts, sprinkle in some seeds, and top it all off with seasonal fruit for a bowl that’s as beautiful as it is nourishing.
