If you look at meal plans of athletes, they almost always have oatmeal once or even twice a day.
There are so many benefits to oatmeal. But, most of us care about how it's going to help us fit into that pair of jeans that you try on every morning with a prayer in your heart.
Why Oatmeal?
1. Boosts your metabolism, makes your body work hard to break it down
2. Slowly digests, leaving you fuller for longer
3. Fiber, moves everything else through the system
When should I eat it?
1. First thing in the morning
2. After a workout
How should I eat it?
1. 1/2cup with 1 cup water. Microwave 2 minutes
add 1tsp. Splenda and some cinnamon to taste.
2. Add a scoop of protein powder to recipe #1 (after you cook it)
Chocolate oatmeal is so YUMMY!
3. Perfect for Post workout Meal:
Blend 1/2 cup oatmeal in a blender to make a fine powder
then blend it into your protein shake, put a little extra water.
Don't try to chug it. You don't taste the oatmeal at all, just adds a little thickness to the shake.
Plus, Oatmeal is Cheap!
Enjoy a bowl of Oatmeal this morning!
