Savory Oatmeal

TAKING ACTION:

✅ We’re on a 14/10 fasting protocol this month, what is your new eating window? What time will you be breaking your fast this month? Tell me in the comments below!

Fast 14 hours, have a 10 hour eating window (example: finish eating at 7pm, don’t eat again until 9am the next morning).

We’re all probably familiar with oatmeal, but have you ever tried savory oatmeal? Savory oatmeal is just as delicious and gives you the warm feeling that comes from your favorite comfort foods (but without the sugar high/glucose spike). 🙌

The best thing about making savory oats is that anything goes—that means all the toppings work ⬇️

Since oats have plenty of carbs on their own, your main focus when making savory oatmeal should be adding plenty of healthy fats, and you guessed it—protein! Think soft-boiled eggs, edamame, chickpeas, slivered almonds, toasted sesame seeds, and more. If you’d like to add some micronutrient-dense options, try throwing in your choice of sautéed veggies! Add a dash of hot sauce, and you’re in business!

The recipe below suggests using steel-cut oats instead of rolled oats due to their chewy texture that pairs well with the toppings. Nutritionally, steel-cut oats are almost identical to rolled oats but are less processed than rolled oats. In fact, they’re the least processed form of oats. Sounds like a win/win all the way around! 💯

P.S. We’ve talked a lot about the importance of protein regarding strength and metabolic health, but it’s also true that healthy carbs are important. Savory oats loaded with healthy toppings are a great meal to have on repeat this month!
