Great Paleo-Based Diet Option

Organic oats and white rice are two grains that I do super well with and have no problem adding into my usually paleo-based diet. And after chatting with many of you – it seems that lots of you are the same!

If you’re into oats, especially the warm and yummy baked variety… you’re in for a treat! Oats have been a favorite for me for breakfast lately and I love that I can feed this to Hudson too.

Nursing mama? This will be right up your alley! I hear so many women sing the praises of oats in their diet and how it really helps with their milk supply. This would be such a great way to get more in, in the most delicious way!
