Notes
*Dairy Free Note - This recipe can easily be made dairy free if you are allergic or intolerant to dairy products. Any kind of unsweetened and unflavored dairy-free milk such as almond milk, coconut milk, soy milk, oat milk, hemp milk, etc can be used in replacement of the 2 cups of milk. To replace the Greek yogurt look for dairy-free Greek Yogurt in the yogurt section of the grocery store.**Sweetener Note - The nutritional information for this recipe (including calories, sugar and Weight Watchers SmartPoints) have been calculated based on the recipe as written with no additional sweeteners added. However, you may wish to make your strawberries and cream oatmeal a little bit sweeter to suit your own tastes and liking. You can sweeten this recipe with granulated sugar, honey, maple syrup or a zero calorie sweetener of your choice such as Stevia, Splenda, Monk Fruit, etc. If you use honey or sugar however you will need to calculate those calories and grams of sugar on your own. Personally, I use Splenda as it is easily available, tastes good to me and helps me keep within my SmartPoints range as I am doing the Weight Watchers program.***Non-Stick Note - To make clean up easier you may wish to either line your slow cooker with a slow cooker liner or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
