For many people, oatmeal is just as much a part of breakfast as coffee in the morning. The proof is in the pudding so to say, given the amount of recipes that you can find this healthy grain in. You may notice, that most of the recipes are sweet. Why not switch it up with a savory oatmeal bowl with feta and egg for breakfast? And of course, no one can tell you when you can eat your bowl. It tastes just as good for lunch or dinner.
Feta & Egg Oatmeal Bowl: A Healthy Start to the Day
As you probably know, oatmeal is very healthy. In fact, oats are one of the most protein-rich grains in the world. Complex carbohydrates regulate blood sugar, and are what gives a bowl of oatmeal that filling effect. Oats contain a large amount of fiber and vitamins K, B1, and B6, as well as the minerals copper, zinc, phosphorus, calcium, potassium, and magnesium. It is also said to help lower cholesterol levels.
But that’s not all: The biotin contained in oats, in combination with the minerals, is great for your hair, skin, and nails. So, if you eat oatmeal regularly, you will not only become healthier but also hotter. That’s our theory, anyway. Suffice to say, there are many reasons to try our feta and egg oatmeal bow!
