A warm bowl of oatmeal for breakfast is so cozy, especially this time of year. Oats are full of whole grain goodness and fiber. It’s a heart healthy choice and easy to prep. Topping oatmeal with protein and/or healthy fat will keep you feeling full for hours. There are several varieties of oats – steel-cut(Irish), old-fashioned rolled, stone-ground (Scottish), and instant. Find your favorite kind and dress it up with fruit, nuts, seeds, or nut butters. If you are choosing instant oats, look for the kind without any added sugars.
