In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, water, and almond milk. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

Once the oatmeal is cooked, remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the honey (or maple syrup) and lime zest for a burst of summer flavor.
Step 5
Divide the oatmeal into two serving bowls.

Top each bowl with equal portions of sliced strawberries, blueberries, and diced mango. Sprinkle with chopped almonds and chia seeds, if desired, for extra texture and nutrition.
