HEALTHY OATS BREAKFAST(IN 5 MIN)

 HEALTHY OATS BREAKFAST(IN 5 MIN)

Oats,are a whole grain food,known scientifically as AVENA SATIVA. They are among the healthiest grains on earth.They're a gluten-free whole grain and a great source of important vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants.Having oats regularly aids to weight loss, lower blood sugar levels and a reduced risk of heart disease.I personally use them for dosas n idlys.

Eating  oats in breakfast is a great way to start your day.I know that having oats alone doesn't sounds n taste good.

I have tried many recipies with oats, both sweet n hot. Sweet dish is anyways sweeter, as i love sweets i can have it without any complient.But when it comes to hot , i have tried masala oats, oats upma n all. But hardly i can have them only once. As it doesn't taste good.

After many trials , finally i came up with a healthy breakfast recipe with oats, nuts n loads of fruits.

If u are aiming to loose weight then this recipe will help you.
