Low Fat Milk (100 Ml) and Oats (Quaker) (1 Serving)

Reduce the oat portion and choose minimally processed steel-cut or thick rolled oats rather than instant oats; cook them less soft if tolerated.

Replace some of the low-fat milk with unsweetened soy milk or plain Greek yogurt to add more protein and reduce the meal’s carbohydrate load.

Add chia seeds, ground flaxseed, walnuts, or almonds to the oats; the added fiber, fat, and protein can slow the rise after the meal.

Include a protein-rich side such as eggs, tofu, or plain cottage cheese instead of eating oats and milk alone.

Add a small serving of berries, such as strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries, for flavor instead of sugar, honey, syrup, or dried fruit.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating and avoid having the oats when you are very hungry or after a long fast.
