10 Smart Reasons to Enjoy Oatmeal

I eat oatmeal for its taste and nutrition and it’s many other benefits.
It’s true what the cereal TV commercials say about those ‘crunchy oat clusters’. They ARE good for you.. particularly if you make your own.
10 Reasons Why I Love Oatmeal
1. Low calorie food stops cravings.
A cup is only 130 calories! It also stays in your stomach longer making you feel full longer. You will have less hunger and cravings.
2. Provides high levels of fiber and low levels of fat.

Perfect Oatmeal Porridge
Oatmeal porridge has been a traditional breakfast food for hundreds of years. On a winter day there it is so warming to have a steaming bowl of porridge with raisins. In the summer I do not cook them just soak; see my recipe below.
I like the old fashioned oats as they have a fuller flavour and are healthier. You can eat this as a raw meal or make it into regular porridge. As they take longer to cook I often soak them over night but you do not have to.
