“You have to eat oatmeal or you’ll dry up. Anyone knows that.” –Kay Thompson
Your grandma and the Scots ate oats because they are inexpensive and grow anywhere. I eat it for its taste and nutrition and many other benefits. It’s on my list of Powerfoods that I eat regularly.
It’s really true what the cereal TV commercials say about those “crunchy oat clusters.” They are good for you, particularly if you make your own.
10 Reasons Why I Love Oatmeal
1. Low calorie food; stops cravings.
A cup is only 130 calories! It also stays in your stomach longer, making you feel full longer. You will have less hunger and cravings.
2. Provides high levels of fiber, low levels of fat, and high levels of protein.
It’s on the short list for the highest protein levels of any grain.

thanks
That's for health
Thank you.
I had them sitting in my cabinet and today I figure let me eat them so I took a cup of milk boiled it, a squeeze of maple syrup, 1 1/2 teaspoons of peanut butter then a 1/2 cup of oatmeal and let's not forget about handful of blueberries and I loved it.
My problem was I was making to much of it at one time without measuring it but now I learned how to measure things out.
Now I want to make some oatmeal cookies which I always loved. Have a healthy Day
Thank you for sharing.
Avena Sativa or Oats has been part of my daily diet for 3 years now and I'm loving it! I have no regrets!
Thanks
I didn't find any reference to an oatmeal drink I found as a substitute for milk, anybody?
