OATS are incredibly nutritious too. It is rich in anti-oxidants and it contains a soluble fiber. It can also lower cholesterol levels. I like using the organic whole rolled oats, it is more flavorful and the texture is perfect for my palate. Quick oats takes a shortest time to cook, but the texture may be mushy. Oats can be use in muffins, granola cereal or bars, cookies and other baked goods. In this recipe, I added carob powder and used coconut almond milk to give an extra flavor to my oatmeal, then topped it with slices of strawberries and slices of banana, raspberries, blackberries, slivered almonds, shredded coconut and chia seeds.
