QUAKER OATS RECIPES
(Keywords: QUAKER OATS RECIPES, OAT FLOUR PANCAKES, oats muesli, oats and gluten, health benefits of oats, oat meal, rolled oats)Oats is a cereal grain grown primarily in Europe (9 million tons per year) and surprisingly is not particularly popular in the United States (1.7 million tons). Even Canada (3.3) grows far more. It has been used since the Bronze age for food, for humans and animals too. Recently it has come to the fore, high in protein and containing more soluble fibre that any other grain, giving oats its proven properties of lowering the toxic LDL cholesterol in the blood, whilst not affecting the healthy HDLs. Them Quakers knew a thing or two! The history of the Quaker Oats companies goes back to the Nineteenth Century North Americas.

HEALTH BENEFITS OF OATS
Eaten either cooked as a porridge, or as raw rolled oats in a muesli, or oat meal for baking, oats is high in protein (higher than any of the other cereals) but has no gluten (scroll down for more about oats and gluten).Oats also has the property of swelling more than other grains in the belly, by absorbing water, and is thus very filling. You can eat less, and still not be hungry... What is particularly interesting about oats though, is that it also has the greatest amounts of soluble fibre of all the cereals. It's this soluble fibre than prevents cholesterol eaten (say from meat, cheese, milk, butter, cream) from being absorbed into the blood stream. Some reports state that a cup of oats a day will reduce your cholesterol by up to 25%. That's massive, far more effective than the other traditionally known foods that lower cholesterol like apples, fish, eggplant, legumes, salads...
FOODS THAT LOWER CHOLESTEROL ...
HEALTHY FOOD, MADE FAST
This website isn't about making pretty-pretty food. It's about healthy food that you can throw together in a minimum of time, so that you and your children can go off to school and work with a belly-full of healthy food. Food that you will find tasty and satisfying, that won't leave you starving at 11 o'clock, and won't make you fat. Not unimportant, I think you'll agree...
Make up your own OATS MUESLI
Some mueslis can be drat expensive, but you can make up your own in a jiffy. This one kilogram pack of an inexpensive muesli costs less than one euro in Holland. But it needs to be dickeyed up a bit, so we add our own nuts, seeds and dried fruit like raisins. And of course fresh fruit like blackberries, strawberries, a peach...
Once a week...
I mix up the various different favourite dry ingredients. It takes less than five minutes. Add your own favourites, what's in season, but never forget it's Quaker Oats recipes! Don't forget the oats!
HUMMUS
Breakfast should of course contain a serving of protein, and whilst that in your quaker oats recipes is relatively high for a cereal, it's not adequate. So what are the options? Meat? Nope, can only eat meat max once a day. Otherwise the big C! An egg? Yes, that's an option, but how's your cholesterol? Cheese? High in fat. Fish, yes, that's a good option, though time consuming unless you have some salmon left over from last night. As a chiropractor, I work solidly without a break for four hours before lunch. Without some protein I'm famished by 11 o'clock. I admit to being odd, but a couple of scoops of this homemade authentic hummus recipe (without the garlic!) sees me home to lunch.

QUAKER OATS RECIPES
Cover your rolled oats muesli with boiling water, and if it gives you indigestion (it does to me), nuke it for one minute. Allow to stand for a while.
The complete breakfast, carbohydrated, protein, the healthy fats for your brain and nerves, fresh fruit full of antioxidants, yogurt... I promise you, you won't be snacking between meals.
Always START breakfast with a cup of tea
Any minute now "she who must be obeyed" is going to be calling for her tea! Why must you START with tea?
INDIGESTION HEARBURN ...
There's research now showing the anti-oxidant effect of tea is reduced by adding milk. Of course, no sugar or chemical sweetners, but a few slices of mandarin, or peach, or lemon makes for the perfect weak black tea. Add your favourite, I vary it week by week, but I think peach is my favourite, when they're in season.
Weekend?
And of course, on Sunday morning, a slap breakfast to celebrate the day. Indulge in a fried egg and don't forget the mushrooms. You've earned it by being on the quaker oats recipe all week! Variation is the spice of life. Oat flour pancakes are always an option if you're needing more QUAKER OATS RECIPES!

OATS AND GLUTEN
The controversy surrounding oats, and whether it can be eaten by gluten-sensitive people (gluten is the protein found in wheat, rye and barley) seems to be that these grains are usually processed in the same mills, and thus the oats becomes contaminated with traces of gluten (patients suffering from Coeliac disease may be extremely sensitive to even small amounts of gluten). Are oats gluten free? Yes, they are but... oats has the highest percentage of protein of all the cereals (around 20%), but some Coeliac patients are still sensitive to the protein in oats. Generally, oats is allowed for Coeliac disease patients, if it's "pure and uncontaminated" by other cereals. Do you suffer from chronic diarrhoea? Try cutting out ALL gluten from your diet for a month. You may be surprised... talk to a nutritionist for details of a gluten-free diet.
