Three Reasons Oats like Chocolate Oatmeal are Good for You
The oat grain, or groat, may be small, but it is a nutritional powerhouse that provides many health benefits. Here are three important ways oats are good for you;
- Oats contain more protein than most grains, which provides sustained energy.
- They are a good source of fiber, including beta-glucan, which is a soluble fiber that can help reduce cholesterol and blood sugar levels.
- Oats also contain many powerful antioxidants, including avenanthramides. These compounds may help reduce blood pressure.
The Benefits of Peanut Butter
Topping your oatmeal with a serving of peanut butter is not only a delicious idea, it provides the powerful combination of fiber (2 g per serving) and protein (8 g per serving), which helps to keep you feeling full longer. It's also a good source of vitamin E, magnesium and potassium.
Research shows that eating peanut butter can also decrease your risk of type 2 diabetes, as well as other chronic health conditions. Plus, adding peanut butter to your chocolate quick oats makes one salty and sweet flavor power couple!
