The benefits of oats have been well known for a long time. They are packed with fiber which can help lower both your cholesterol and blood sugars. For me, oats don't seem to stick with me as long as I'd like, so I "power pack" them to give them a little more nutrition. Skip the instant and go for the old fashion type--they microwave in 3 minutes!
