Are oats for breakfast ok for our glucose levels? It depends.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Some people report that after a breakfast containing oats, they feel tired, sluggish, and need coffee. Other people feel fine.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The reason? The glucose spike.

Oats are starch, and starch turn to glucose in our bodies. It's very important to combine oats with fat, fiber, and protein to reduce their spike and feel good.

Add to your oats: nuts, whole fruit, seeds, protein powder...
Avoid: honey, sugar, maple syrup, fruit purée
