If you’re on a diet, or need to lower your cholesterol, or are like me and like waking up to warm bowl of oatmeal on snowy day when work’s been delayed and your heading to the ski hill to celebrate, then this is a great food for you. Oatmeal has beta-glucagon fiber which leaves you feeling fuller for longer so it’s great for dieters. It has minerals and antioxidants including phosphorus, thiamine, zinc, iron and magnesium so a great source of sustainable energy. I provide lots of options, don’t try all at once but have fun; notice that sugar is not an option – sugar is poison. This recipe is for two servings, adjust accordingly.
