A hearty breakfast with complex carbohydrates,
proteins, and fibers. Oats are popular among athletes for a reason as they provide a long-lasting energy boost. It’s important to have a good breakfast. When you eat a good breakfast, your blood sugar levels remain stable throughout the day, preventing sugar spikes and the associated crashes. You’ll also feel satisfied for longer. Oats are rich in dietary fibers, which are important for a healthy metabolism and digestion. Fibrous food acts as a lubricant for your intestines, optimizing gastrointestinal function. Oats also contain vitamin B, magnesium, and amino acids.
Oats are definitely not boring for breakfast as there are plenty of ways to vary them. I prefer making oats with almond milk. You can make almond milk yourself or buy it at the supermarket or health food store. Make sure to choose the unsweetened version. You can also replace almond milk with soy milk, rice milk, water, or a combination of these. The tastiest combinations are made with fruits like bananas, blackberries, and nuts. Adding a vanilla protein blend gives the oats a delicious flavor. Use a teaspoon of cinnamon as a
finishing touch!
