Do you know all the benefits of oats for your health? They can help you tackle cellulite as part of a healthy lifestyle. Here’s everything you need to know, along with some practical ideas for enjoying them every day!
The benefits of oats
Did you know? Oats are rich in fibre as well as protein! They help nourish your muscles and naturally regulate your metabolism, making them a powerful ally in the fight against cellulite. They also help lower cholesterol and keep snack cravings at bay throughout the day, making them a great support for maintaining a healthy weight.
Packed with vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin D and B vitamins, oats are a true ally for caring for your skin and helping to reduce the appearance of orange peel skin. They’re also found in many skincare and beauty products, such as certain oils, creams and soaps designed to exfoliate and moisturise the skin. But you can also enjoy them as part of your diet!
How to enjoy oats every day?
Beyond classic porridge oats at breakfast or oat milk, one of the most popular plant-based drinks, oats can be used in a wide variety of recipes, including baked goods. Stirred into yogurt, mixed with muesli, tossed into a fruit salad… Oats fit seamlessly into your daily routine! Here’s an indulgent yet wholesome recipe perfect for breakfast or a snack:
Ingredients:
- ½ cup of oats
- A handful of dried fruits and nuts (almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts, etc.)
- Honey
- Two prunes
- Ground cinnamon and ginger
Method:
Start by soaking the oats in water overnight. Drain, then pour the oats into a saucepan with half a cup of water. Bring to the boil, then add the ground cinnamon and ginger (one or two pinches).
As the mixture begins to thicken, add a little more water to prevent the oats from sticking to the pan. Finally, stir in the remaining ingredients: honey, dried fruits and nuts, and prunes.
This recipe is endlessly customisable! Feel free to add a little cocoa powder, jam, banana slices or maple syrup… You’ll enjoy all the goodness of oats while giving your body exactly what it needs, with absolutely no need to feel guilty!
