Breakfast is said to be the most important meal of the day. Well, this is for the simple reason that after a whole night sleep, we need a filling and nutritious breakfast to start off the day right.
In an article from BBC News, breakfast is important for us to break from overnight fast. Skipping breakfast has been linked to obesity and it is associated with increased risk of heart disease, and higher risk of type 2 diabetes for both men and women.
Why I love this recipe
I love oats for the very reason that it is high in fiber and antioxidants. It is also very filling and satisfying that it allows me to go through the day’s task without getting hungry until lunch. Oats is also vegan-friendly and wholesome.
Eating oats is also a break from the usual fried and oily foods that we usually eat during breakfast. It is just refreshing!
