We have been hearing more and more about healthy breakfasts. My husband always leaves in the morning taking two toasts with him to eat in the car along with a coffee containing 3 teaspoons of granulated sugar (about half the daily recommended amount of added sugar).
I wish he would take the time to start the day calmly and eat a nutritious healthy breakfast.
The rest of our family always enjoys a relaxed breakfast of oatmeal while watching the woodpeckers, doves along with many other feathered friends and the antics of our rather robust squirrels. It is a soothing start to a hectic day.
Oatmeal is an appetite tamer which keeps us satisfied until our mid morning snack! We start the day with a good supply of b-vitamins, magnesium, iron and protein.
Many people do not realize that oats contain polyphenols and probiotics as well as fiber. All are important in reducing inflammation,maintaining a healthy digestive tract and reducing your risk of heart disease and cancer.
I recommend whole organic oats which I buy in bulk from Whole Foods Market along with organic Thompson raisins also purchased in bulk from Whole Foods Market. Bulk purchasing is quite economical. Serve with 100% pure maple syrup.
A great way to start your day!
