Your oats upgraded!
Plain oats are amazing – nutritious, heart healthy and fit into just about every lifestyle. However, by simply adding some fruit and a tablespoon of healthy fats (slivered almonds), I increased the satiety factor leaving you fuller, longer!
Keeping hunger at bay by adding smart nutrition has major benefits when trying to manage your weight and health.

Be mindful about what you’re adding to your oats; limit added sugars and sweets. Instead, add sweetness with natural fruit and cinnamon. Healthy fats in the form of nuts, nut butters and seeds are a great way to add satiety.
A filling breakfast is a great start to your day which will help limit cravings throughout the day!
