I like to make the whole box of oats at one setting and then freeze it with berries, cinnamon, and Stevia in 1.- cup serving portions. This way, I can easily remove them from the freezer and reheat in minutes when doing Phase 1 again. You can also cook steel- cut oats overnight in a slow cooker.

1 cup steel- cut oats

2 cups fresh berries

Stevia and ground cinnamon, to taste

Add the oats to 4 cups water in a large bowl. Cover and put in fridge to soak overnight. The next morning, place the mixture in a saucepan and simmer for approximately 30 minutes. When the oats finish cooking, top with the berries, then sprinkle with Stevia and cinnamon.
