This Tahini & oats recipe for breakfast is a must.
Quick and simple breakfast that the whole family will love for those busy mornings trying to get out the door. It will also keep you fuller for longer as this recipe has a lot of fiber.
Oats – why love oats?
- For starters, they are high in fiber. It has soluble fiber, that slows down digestion and makes us feel full AND it has unsoluble fiber, that moves things along in our digestive tract.
- Lowers cholesterol. They contain beta-glucans which are associated with lowering cholesterol.
- Helps with weight loss – if we feel fuller for longer, after a quality meal, the less likely we are to snack or eat foods that are not nutrient dense.
- Gives you energy from the carbs
Tahini – a secret and staple ingredient in my pantry that I add to a lot of things on a regular basis. Made out of sesame seeds (think hummus) here is why you will love tahini.
- Packed with healthy fats. It supports brain function, heart health and keeping you fuller longer (we want to be fuller longer from quality ingredients).
- It makes your skin glow from the inside out. If you know me by now, you know I love anything that makes my skin glow naturally. Anti-aging is my jam. It contains Vitamin A & E, zinc and collagen. All of the nutrients we need for healthy looking skin.
- Fights inflammation – inflammation wreaks havoc in our bodies and is linked to many diseases. The antioxidants and polyphenols in tahini calms inflammation.
This is just a couple of reasons why tahini and oats are good for you. There are many many more.
