Day 4- Toats the Oats

Day 4- Oats
serving recommendation: 5 to 7 servings a day ( yeah, this seems daunting to me but just remember, even if you incorporate just some of these suggestions, you are making the progress and improvements to a healthier you).

I searched for an image of oat.. and I got a Goat and it was too cute to not include. 

• Oats are high in fiber which is awesome for digestion and at the same time low in calories
• zinc, copper, magnesium, potassium, and a few other healthy elements
• there is a connection with oats and lowering blood sugar and reducing heart disease
• make sure you look for whole grain .. whole grain carbs are extremely good for you, don't listen to those fad diets that all carbs are bad.. SO NOT TRUE. 

So, here is the caveat 5-7 servings is of whole grain in general not just oats.
you can have

• 1 slice of bread or a muffin (whole grain)
• 1/2 cup of oatmeal (leave out the unhealthy sugary parts)
• whole grain pasta or rice
• about 5 small whole grain crackers 
• 3 rice cakes

And here is a perfect place to talk about an oat muffin recipe which was AMAZING. 
Oat, banana muffins. The recipe calls for blueberries on top but all I had was strawberries (great place to get those blueberries in).  Its healthy and amazing, and super easy. You have 12 little breakfast muffins! I would totally give this one a shot.
