Porridge!
Although traditionally a breakfast cereal, there is nothing to stop one from enjoying oats at other times of the day!
Overnight oats are soaked in liquid overnight and eaten cold, resulting in a chewy texture and milder taste compared to cooked oats. Cooked oats are heated and have a softer texture and warmer taste. Nutritionally, both are similar but overnight oats may have a slightly higher resistant starch content due to the soaking process.
Colonial people would have eaten oats, corn, rice and some occasional meat and eggs for breakfast. They would have had to eat what was available and make it last.
Eggs are very nutritious, but should not be eaten raw. People have been known to get salmonella food poisoning from raw and undercooked eggs.
It depends on the texture. Instant oats are pressed very thin and so are digested quite a bit faster than traditional oats or, at the other end steel-cut oats. The downside to steel-cut oats must be cooked, usually for around 30 minutes before they can be eaten, whereas instant oats just need hot water.
Simply any grain you might eat for breakfast, such as Wheat or Oats
Steel-cut oats typically have around 150 calories per half-cup serving. It's a healthy choice for breakfast because it's full of fiber, which is good for your tummy and helps you feel full longer. I've personally tried True Elements steel-cut oats, and they're great! They give me energy and keep me full until lunchtime. So, if you're looking for a nutritious and filling breakfast, give steel-cut oats a try!
Grains, barley, oats
No, overnight oats are typically eaten cold, straight from the refrigerator.
To prepare overnight oats in the microwave for a quick breakfast, mix oats, milk, and any desired toppings in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, microwave the oats for 1-2 minutes, stirring halfway through, until heated through. Enjoy your convenient and nutritious breakfast!
To incorporate protein powder into your overnight oats, simply mix the powder with the oats and liquid (such as milk or yogurt) before refrigerating overnight. This will add extra protein to your oats, making them a more nutritious and filling breakfast option.
Yes, it is just oats.
