    It was okay just not sweet at all. I enjoyed everything else about it. I didn't have any quinoa or old fashioned oats so I made do with what I had on hand, just quick oats. Next time I will try it exactly as the recipe is written and review again

    I used some coconut milk instead of the skim milk. Turned out really good!
