Monday’s call for fresh starts and healthy choices. Oatmeal is a staple around here at Nutrition By Mia because it is a nutritious, satisfying and a creative way to start your day. Fiber and protein are two important nutrients to get in the AM because they will help keep you satisfied and give you energy to fuel you through the day’s events.
Nutrition:
Oatmeal: Fiber is a standout in nutrient-rich oats. Acting to lower cholesterol by blocking absorption and forming a gel to slow digestion and induce satiation are soluble fiber’s two mechanisms of action. When it comes to aiding digestion and regularity, insoluble fiber is a shining star. This key nutrient helps food pass through the digestive tract quickly and seamlessly.
Peanut Butter: These legumes boast biotin, our skin and hair vitamin which plays several essential co-enzymatic roles including metabolizing our food into energy. Additionally they are rich in monounsaturated fats, a healthy fat that our hearts love.
