Oatmeal is a simple but powerful food that can set you up for a day of healthy eating. It’s loaded with two kinds of fiber, so it keeps you feeling full for longer. Oatmeal provides you with essential vitamins and minerals including phosphorus, B-vitamins, magnesium and zinc. You can learn all about the benefits of eating oatmeal in our Food Facts story.
As good as oatmeal is for our healthy diets, on its own, it’s a little plain for our taste buds. Many instant oatmeal varieties from the grocery store come in tempting flavors, but they’re often high in added sugar and other ingredients that you want to avoid. Instead, you can turn ordinary oats into a flavor sensation with ingredients that amp up the taste without adding empty calories.
(Pro Tip: Looking for the convenience of instant oatmeal without the guilt? Nutrisystem provides you with perfectly portioned, delicious oatmeal options that fit into your weight loss plan! Enjoy two delicious flavors: Apple Walnut and Maple Brown Sugar! >)
