Oatmeal is a breakfast staple in our house. It is quick, easy, & versatile. Oatmeal is heart-healthy & a good source of soluble fiber. Oatmeal is also low on the glycemic index, which means it will not spike your blood sugar.
The key is to stay away from those packets of flavored oatmeal that contain added sugar & other additives that you don't need or want in your healthy diet.
This oatmeal pizza recipe was a great way to switch up the breakfast routine but still get the awesome benefits of oatmeal.
