Savory Oatmeal Bowl
I love oatmeal…it’s so yummy and cozy. Sweet oatmeal with bananas, peanut butter, granola and a scoop protein powder in it, is so very delicious, but it makes me keep craving sweets all day long. I don’t feel my best. Although I’m full, I am not satisfied and I then crave more sweet things. As a previous sugar addict, I try to avoid things that ignite this cycle again.
So…my solution is SAVORY OATMEAL! I am 100% full and satisfied afterwards! Which makes total sense…my blood sugar remains steady with the savory oatmeal bowl instead of spiking and then tanking after a sweet oatmeal bowl. In The Glucose Revolution by @theglucosegoddess , she talks about the importance of starting your day with savory verses sweet foods…check out her book and her IG…super helpful!
This is what I used, but it’s so versatile! Use more or less depending on what you need for your macro goals. Swap bacon for the sausage, add avocado if you need more healthy fats, use whole eggs with the egg whites, change up the veggies…
