Product Review
I didn’t grow up enjoying oats. I’ve always been more of a savory person, and to me, oats are usually sweet so I don’t fancy them. It was only about a year ago that I started having cold soaked oats for breakfast (because everyone said it was healthy!) that I fell in love with it. Now, I love oats in all forms – savory or sweet. And I can have it any time of the day. There’s no reason not to love oats – It’s wholesome, healthy and aids in digestion. Plus, it doesn’t add to my weight! For someone who’s at my late 30’s, I need to watch my diet closely so that I can stay healthy and strong for many years to come. Oats therefore became one of my all-time favorite options.
If you are like me and think that oats are usually taken sweet, I’ll love to share a hearty savory oats recipe with you today. Perhaps, you’ll have a new-found love for oats after you try it! =)
