Rolled Oats (True Elements) (1 Serving)

Reduce the rolled-oat portion and avoid adding sugar, syrups, honey, or sweetened dried fruit.

Pair oats with protein, such as plain Greek yogurt, eggs, or unsweetened soy yogurt.

Add fiber- and fat-rich toppings such as chia seeds, ground flaxseed, walnuts, or almonds.

Choose steel-cut oats or thicker-cut oats instead of quick or instant oats, and cook them less soft when practical.

Add low-sugar fruit such as berries, rather than banana or fruit juice.

Eat oats after or alongside a balanced meal, and take a short walk after eating if appropriate for you.
