My favorite breakfast: oats!

So like I've said plenty before: I make food that tastes good but just doesn't look too good. Oh well!

I love love oats and oatmeal. It is so good for you and is so versatile!
Some of the benefits of oatmeal include:

• Low calories
• High fiber
• high protein grain
• stabilizes blood sugar and reduces risk of type 2 diabetes
• removes bad cholesterol
• protects against heart disease and cancer
• Very filling

These are only a few of the awesome health benefits that oatmeal provides!

When I say that oatmeal is so versatile, I mean it! You can eat it hot (bottom pic) or even cold! (top) Overnight oats have been quite the sensation lately and they are the easiest and most convenient way to eat oats. Basically you just take an empty jar and add the desired amount of uncooked oats to it, then you add whatever you want: fruits, cinnamon, pb (idk get creative) then add almond, or soy milk (or regular if you must) just enough to cover the ingredients. Add the lid and put it in the fridge overnight and it is ready to eat! No cooking required. Hot oatmeal can be made two ways: microwave or stove top. I usually just use the microwave because it is a lot easier and I use quick cook oats so it only takes 2 minutes and less dishes. Follow the directions on the oats container for cooking but just add whatever you like just like the cold oats.

Sample overnight oat recipe as shown above:
1/2 cup uncooked oats
1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce
cinnamon
1/3 cup almond milk
    Basically just do as I say above and I made some apple spice overnight oats!

Sample hot oatmeal:
1/2 cup oats
1 cup water
1 tbsp. cocoa powder
1/2 banana
drizzle of honey
     Cook the oatmeal how the container says but add the cocoa powder before. After, add the sliced banana and a touch of honey for added sweetness, mix, and enjoy.

These are only example of all the different ways you can make your oats, so be creative and try something new!
