There’s nothing sadder than a beige bowl of oatmeal. We know it’s good for us, but come on! Enter: fresh strawberries. The bright red fruit dyes the oats Valentine pink, which is way better-looking than the original. Don’t stop with strawberries—this method works great with blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries too.
