The Best Breakfast Foods – Oat Porridge with Stevia and Cinnamon!
The perfect start of your day!
Starting your day with oat porridge is one of the most perfect ways to set your body up for the rest of the day. It is high in complex carbohydrates and provides the body with slow releasing energy. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and oat porridge is a great way to give yourself and the kids the nourishment they need to kick start their day.
Oats are one of the most complete foods on earth.
In the last few years porridge has slowly become among the hottest super foods, and understandably so, the oats have so many health benefits that they are often linked to long and healthy lifestyles. Oats are a nutritional power food and, in my opinion, one of the best breakfast foods as it has many health benefits including decreasing heart disease and diabetes. This is not your average breakfast cereal. This is a real super food.
11 good reasons to start your day with oat porridge – the best breakfast foods!
- Oats are packed with vitamins and minerals and other trace elements to help the body build sturdy bones and muscles, maintain joint elasticity and much more. Compared with other whole grains, oats also have the highest amounts of calcium, magnesium, zinc, copper and manganese.
- Oatmeal is a good source of protein, complex carbohydrates, fats and iron.
- Oats are rich in vitamin E and contain fatty acids and vitamin K.
- Oat contains all the B vitamins in a density found in no other food.
- Oatmeal also contains a wide array of antioxidants.
- Oatmeal is high in fiber, an ideal food for those with digestive problems.
- Oats are easy to digest, provide abundant energy, and encourage the body’s growth and repair.
- Oats lower the cholesterol and decrease heart disease and diabetes.
- The phytochemicals in oat may also have cancer-fighting properties.
- Oats can be tolerated by many people that have a wheat allergy. Though it has traces of wheat protein or gluten, it still can be used in minimal quantities but is usually recommended for adults.
- Porridge of oats can boost libido by helping to re-balance testosterone and estrogens in the body.
This is my personal oat porridge recipe and a good start of my day.
- 3 topped tablespoons of organic oat flakes.
- Organic soymilk
- ½ tea spoon organic stevia, the zero calorie all natural sweetner.
- A good sprinkling of organic Cinnamon powder.
You may also add some berries and fruits if you feel like it. I recommend that you don’t use cow milk and sugar as they are not healthy for you.
Use a thick bottomed pot. Stir oat flakes and soymilk over low heat for five minutes, then leave to simmer for 5-6 minutes. Adjust the soymilk to appropriate consistency.
You may put the oat flakes in soymilk to have it swell over the night – then you need less time to cook it.
The best breakfast foods
Also soymilk, stevia and cinnamon are super foods. I will write more about super foods in another article. The mixture of oats, stevia, soymilk and cinnamon are the best breakfast foods I can think of. Don’t ruin the best breakfast foods through the use of non organic products. Organic products are grown without the usage of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides and herbicides. If you read my article, “Why organic?“, you will understand why it is important to use only organic ingredients.
Did I mention it – oat porride is good too? – your heart and body will thank you for it!
Happy Natural Life!
