And beyond this oatmeal latte recipe, Nature’s Path has some doable tips for going organic:

• Look Inside Your Pantry: Fresh fruits and vegetables may be the first thing that come to mind when you think about organic, but don’t forget about your pantry. Staples such as flour, sugar, vegetable oil, peanut butter and more can be swapped out for organic options and make it easier to have organic food as part of every meal.
• Start with What You Eat Everyday: A good place to start is with the foods you consume every day. If you and your family start each morning with a bowl of cereal, try eating organic cereal. If salad is on your daily lunch menu, then buy organic greens and organic carrots, which tend to be affordable, too.
• Think Outside the Cart: You may think that organic food costs more, but you can find less expensive options by shopping at your local farmer’s market, comparing prices online, buying in bulk (which is better for the environment) and even growing some of your own food.

Serves: 1 to 2 servings

Ingredients

• ⅔ cup water
• ⅓ cup + ½ cup vanilla dairy-free milk beverage, divided*
• ½ cup organic rolled oats (can use 1 packet Organic Hot Oatmeal)
• Pinch salt
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar or coconut sugar
• 1 to 2 shots fair trade espresso, for topping
• Organc granola, for topping (like Nature’s Path Flax Plus Vanilla Almond Granola)
• Pinch ground cinnamon, for topping

Instructions

1. In a small saucepan, bring the water and ⅓ cup milk beverage to simmer over medium-high heat.
2. Add the oats and salt. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until the oatmeal reaches your desired consistency. Stir in the brown sugar and transfer to bowl or mug.
3. Warm and froth the remaining ½ cup milk beverage using a steamer, milk frother or whisk, until foamy.
4. Top the oatmeal with the espresso and frothed milk. Stir gently. Top with granola and cinnamon. Serve with a spoon!

Notes

Milk Beverage Note: This recipe was created with organic vanilla soymilk. You can use your favorite soy-free, dairy-free milk beverage if preferred, just make sure it is one that heats well. Also, you can use an unsweetened vanilla milk beverage, if preferred, as the sugar and granola will add ample sweetness.
