Turmeric Oatmeal Recipe
Oatmeal makes such a hearty, budget friendly breakfast option and this turmeric oatmeal is my latest go to meal to start the day with.

Healthy Oatmeal Ingredients
There are loads of variations to this recipe, so you can create your own personal bowl full.
Oats – use rolled oats for thick, creamy oats or porridge oats for a finer consistency. (I prefer rolled, so suggest those in the below recipe.)
Milk – I just happened to find a carton of coconut milk for 57 cents the other day, so that’s what I used in this instance. You can use dairy milk, almond milk, oat milk or any other milk you have in your fridge.
I go for 50/50 water and milk so it’s perfectly creamy. You can use all water or all milk if you’d prefer it more milky or not milky at all.
Turmeric – depending on your turmeric tolerance, go for and quarter to a half a teaspoon of ground turmeric. When filming, I went for 1/3 of a teaspoon of the delicious spice and it was perfectly turmeric hued and flavored.
You could add a smidge more for more of a turmeric kick. Or, go for less if you’re unsure of how turmeric oats would taste.
Pepper – consuming turmeric with pepper enhances the bio availability nutrition by as much as 2000%. (Source.) You only use a pinch, so you don’t taste it at all, but it bring
