Can’t stop, won’t stop with these oatmeal dinner bowls. If this isn’t a statement of ”adulthood” and liberation from specific meal time of day expectations, idk what is. 😛🥜🍫

WHY YOU SHOULD EAT OATS (whenever you want):
🥣
Oats contain both soluble (beta-glucan) and insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber forms a gel that helps to lower cholesterol, stabilize blood glucose levels and promote for healthy gut bacteria. The insoluble fiber helps promote movement in the digestive process and improve intestinal health. Both heart and colon = very happy.
🥣
Oats make for a very easy, nutrient dense, balanced meal. One half cup of rolled oats contains ~51g carbs, 13g protein, 5g fat and 8g fiber. Oats also provide important minerals, such as thiamin, magnesium, phosphorous, zinc, manganese, selenium and iron, and antioxidants and plant compounds, such as avenanthramides.
🥣
Oats are highly satiating, and will keep you satisfied for hours, promoting for sustainable weight loss or maintenance of healthy weight. Whole grains like oats diminish hunger and raise levels of serotonin and dopamine in the brain, leaving you feeling some type of way. 🥰
🥣
Fun fact: oats are called “avena sativa” in the plant kingdom. 🌱
