Love is in the air, everywhere I look around.....no, no, no...this is not quite the lovey-dovey post you're hoping for....and neither is it my recipe for chocolate heart-shaped cup cakes!! :D
If you have nobody to love *sobs* this Valentine's Day.....love your heart! Coincidental that this post should come out just before Valentine's Day, isn't it? Ok, ok, I confess....I purposely scheduled this post to appear, but not because it's Valentine's, but because it's before Chinese New Year as I know all of you would be over-indulging in your many festive "makan" (eats)...sorry to be a 'party pooper', I was just concerned for your health....kekeke!! But, hey.....my intentions are good but my timing sucks!! :D
Many of us would try to incorporate oats into ourdaily lives as we are all too aware of the immense benefits one can derive from eating oats. There are many different types (and brands) in the market from regular to quick cook to instant oats to even flavoured ones.

First...you had to cook them.....nope, too lazy to do so + it tastes horrible :(
Next....they came up with instant and powder form versions, those that you can mix into a drink (or with water)....no can do, it still tastes awful =(
Finally, it's now available in a ready-to-eat crispy cereal form....and I was like...ok, now I'll eat it...it's so convenient!! :D
I'm not going to bore you with all the details of its benefits and how good it is for you, you can read about it from the many sources online.
And each individual packet contains 3g of beta-gluten which is the recommended daily dose to help reduce cholesterol.
I loved that they made it into cute heart-shaped cereals...I guess it's their way of asking us to "love our hearts", I suppose.
I think it's better to take these crispy cereals than the oat bran powder version since I heard it causes diarrhea for some people....well, we can't have that!
So, here's a crispy *heart" from me to you......
P/S: And nope...I didn't get any free samples for this post (of the crispy cereals, I mean)!
I have seen this Biogrow Oat BG22 at the pharmacies and nope I didn't go anywhere near it hah..hah... Since it is crispy (but tasteless), then it should be easier to eat. I do remember those days when I tried to incorporate oats into my diet. I did not keep up with it for too long because it was such a torture to eat!
ReplyDeleteIt is a torture to eat oats but these (tasteless) ones are way easier to incorporate into our diet :)
DeleteOh crap, it's on Saturday?? Then this weekend would be the mother of all traffic jams!! >.<
ReplyDeleteRM59.90 sounds like too steep for me, I guess I'll just stick to my oats with milk..
With prices being so expensive this year, maybe there won't be any traffic jams at all :D
DeleteWhen things are convenient, they aren't cheap but as long as you have oats in your diet, it's ok...no matter in what form!
I love oats. Oat cookies are very nice too...and oats in cereal prawns, lovely change from the overrated butter prawns.
ReplyDeleteErrrr....I think oat cookies and oatmeal prawns don't quite qualify as having oats in our diets...wakakaka!!
Deletewah, creative oat snack ... i've always been meaning to insert some oats into my diet, so this would be a fun way to do it (and convenient too, no need bowls and hot water etc to prepare oats) :D
ReplyDeleteNow that it's so convenient, there shouldn't be anything stopping you from incorporating oats into your diet! :D
DeleteIf it works for you, please let us know.
ReplyDeleteFor it to work, you have to persistently eat it on a daily basis...I've seen on forums that it does work. But I don't think I'll persevere...I eat every now and then only (but, at least, I'm eating some oats)!
