Type of Oatmeal Matters
Not every oatmeal product is nutritionally identical.
Generally, less-processed options such as steel-cut oats and traditional rolled oats can be a better choice than heavily sweetened instant oatmeal products.
When shopping, check the nutrition label and ingredient list.
Look for:
- Whole oats as a main ingredient
- Plenty of dietary fiber
- Little or no added sugar
- Minimal unnecessary ingredients
You can then add your own fruit, cinnamon, nuts, or seeds for flavor.
