Healthy Oats

Need a delicious and healthy source of fiber? Oatmeal is the answer!

I eat a lot of it, mostly because it keeps me full since your body takes longer to digest high fiber foods, it keeps me going longer until I feel that I'm hungry again. But also, I can play around with it, adding different flavors so I don't really feel like I'm eating the same thing over and over again.

Sometimes, I even substitute a bowl of oatmeal for a regular meal when I need something quick or after a workout.

Here is how I do it:

For every 1 cup of oats I use 1 cup of Low-Fat milk (I like my oats more solid, you can always add more milk and adjust the consistency)
Stove top or microwave until it boils
1 banana sliced
Any type of nuts (I prefer Almonds or glazed walnuts)
Ground Cinnamon to taste
Raw Blue Agave Nectar (it is a low-glycemic sweetener, so delicious and much healthier than sugar)

Have fun with it, add blueberries, granny smith apples, cranberry, coconut, cashews, pumpkin seeds and the list goes on.

The options are endless with oatmeal.

Be creative and enjoy!
