The age old talk of oats being good for the soul has stuck in a world where new superfoods rise and fall on the daily. So we can be rest assured it’s true! High in fiber, and being slow-release unrefined carbohydrates, oats are everything nutritionally plus versatile enough to be enjoyed in an abundance of ways.
Most of us start our day with a beautifully decorated bowl of porridge; topped with yogurt, berries, nut butters or chocolate, but we don’t think to change up the texture we eat these oats in, and still maintain the brilliant benefits. Why not enjoy cookies for breakfast, and still say you’ve gotten the same morning kick as usual?
