Oatmeal with Fixin’s: Gluten Free – Soy Free – Nut Free – Dairy Free
Jan 14th
Oatmeal for me conjures up memories of my grandmother’s daily breakfast and childhood memories of co
ld winter mornings. But this breakfast staple can be one of the best ways to start your morning. Oats are high in soluble and insoluble fiber and they are heart smart as they help to reduce blood cholesterol; control blood pressure and regulate blood sugar levels. They help to aid in digestion (stick to the ribs as my Mom used to say) and because they contain phytochemicals, they can also help reduce your cancer risk.
Best of all, oatmeal in the morning is easy to make and can be the best base for even great powerful superfood toppers:
- Coconut Oil aids in speeding up metabolism and great for digestive health
- Chia delivers great insoluble fiber, antioxidants and Omega 3′s
- Hempseeds packs in a protein powerhouse, with Chlorophyll and GLA’s
- Goji berries are rich in Vitamin C which boosts the oatmeal to reduce bad Cholesterol even more
- Cacao energizes, aids in lifting spirits, is mineral rich and is great for cardiovascular health
- Cinnamon helps to reduce blood sugar levels
All of these nutritional benefits which will take you 2 minutes to prepare. It doesn’t get much better than that!
