Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I prepare this porridge ahead of time?
A: Yes! You can make a batch the night before and gently reheat it in the microwave or on the stovetop in the morning. Add a splash of almond milk if needed to reach your desired consistency.

Q: Can I substitute almond milk with another type of milk?
A: Absolutely. Unsweetened coconut milk or cashew milk can also be used for a slightly different flavor profile and creamier texture.
