Oat flakes are a food product that deserves significant praise. Their extraordinary effect on the body makes oatmeal one of the healthiest breakfast options available. It's also worth considering the addition of a few wholesome ingredients: fruits, nuts, and kefir. Kefir enhances the health benefits of this tasty breakfast and prevents the sole adverse effect of oatmeal.
Kefir oatmeal — literal health
Let's delve into the many benefits of adding kefir to oatmeal. Kefir provides many minerals, easily digestible protein, and vitamins. As a fermented product, kefir significantly impacts intestinal health thanks to its healthy probiotics. Its high vitamin K2 content is worth mentioning, as it boosts immunity and positively affects the liver and skin.
Kefir also counteracts a particular adverse effect of oatmeal. What is it? Oat flakes contain phytic acid, which binds minerals and hinders their absorption into the body, impacting the intake of iron, zinc, and calcium. Adding kefir to oat flakes neutralizes phytic acid, making oat flakes officially 100 percent perfect.
Kefir oatmeal — you can make it even in the evening!
Preparing breakfast must be nutritious, healthy, and quick to make. Oatmeal excels in all these aspects. You can prepare this dish the night before, known as overnight oatmeal. For this, soak oat flakes in kefir, mix them with various additions (fruits, nuts, peanut butter, cocoa), place them in the refrigerator, and enjoy a flavorful meal in the morning.
