Eating breakfast today too (feat. benefits of granola)

 

This morning, I had breakfast with a protein shake, Greek yogurt, granola, fruit, and a cup of coffee.

 

Usually, you can't eat it all at once like this.

Remaining fruit half and protein shake are eaten while sitting at the office desk haha

 

Still, if I eat a hearty breakfast in the morning, I definitely don't overeat at lunch, which is good.

 

These days, I sprinkle granola on Greek yogurt and eat it.

 

So today, I will look into the benefits of granola.

 

 

 

 

What is granola?

It's a type of cereal made by baking oats, nuts, dried fruits, and seeds with added sweeteners like spices, sugar, or honey.

It is rich in various vitamins, minerals, and amino acids, including protein and dietary fiber.

 

In particular, oats, the main ingredient of granola, contain a variety of nutrients compared to white rice or brown rice.

These days, there are many people eating oat rice, right?

 

Oats are rich in a type of dietary fiber called beta-glucan, which helps lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels, making it beneficial for preventing adult diseases and aiding in weight loss.

But side effects are also inevitable!
