If you look through any health and fitness magazine, fitness blog or talk to anyone into health and fitness, odds are that oatmeal is mentioned as a food you should be eating. Try this healthy protein oatmeal recipe to kick-start your breakfast right when you wake up.

Oats are recommended by health and fitness professionals due to:

  • Great Taste
  • Health Benefits
  • Convenience

Some of the health benefits of oatmeal include:

  • Oatmeal helps lower cholesterol levels
  • Supports healthy blood sugar levels
  • Contains soluble and insoluble fiber
  • Gluten Free
  • Protects against heart failure
  • Enhahces immune response to disease

Oats, just like any other healthy food can be ruined by the garnish and toppings you put in the steaming bowl of goodness. If you want to keep your oatmeal on the top of the health food chain, you should avoid the following toppings:

  • Sugar
  • High Calorie Maple Syrup
  • Chocolate Chips
  • Shredded Coconut

Instead try a healthy dose of cinnamon (without the sugar) on top of your oatmeal. If you need that added sweetness, simply add some splenda or stevia along with the cinnamon to ensure your oatmeal stays as healthy as it started. If that doesn't make you want to down some oats, try them in a homemade mass gainer or meal replacement shake.
