-
1 1/2 cups
nonfat milk, or nondairy milk, such as soymilk or almond milk
-
1/2 cup
orange juice
-
1 cup
old-fashioned rolled oats
-
1 cup
rhubarb, fresh or frozen; 1/2-inch pieces

1/2 teaspoon
ground cinnamon

1 pinch
salt

2-3 tablespoons

- Combine milk, juice, oats, rhubarb, cinnamon and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Stir in sweetener to taste. Top with nuts.
