What you may have disliked as a child can easily become a favorite as an adult. Oatmeal is not only delicious but incredibly healthy. It contains beta-glucan (a soluble fiber), which helps lower blood sugar, supports digestion, and keeps you feeling full for longer due to its low glycemic index. And it does all this without harming your body — since it only dissolves after passing through the upper part of the digestive tract.
Bran is rich in protein, B vitamins, and iron, while the whole oat grain contains plenty of zinc, magnesium, calcium, vitamin E, B1, and plant-based protein. Oatmeal is ideal for treating and preventing gastritis.
- Oat flakes
- Boiling water
- Optionally: honey, salt, berries (raspberries, strawberries), fruits (apricot, peach, plum), nuts (Greek, cedar, hazelnut, almond), pumpkin seeds
- For the unsweetened option: olive oil, salt, nuts
Pour boiling water over the oat flakes and let them sit for 3–4 minutes. Then add your preferred toppings: berries, fruits, nuts, or a drizzle of honey. If you prefer a savory twist, replace honey with olive oil and a pinch of salt, and add nuts if desired. Feel free to experiment — one of the combinations is sure to become your favorite. Oatmeal truly is one of the healthiest ways to start your day.
