Hello Fellas.........hope you all are doing good and enjoying the monsoons at your respective places. These days my 3-year-old is keeping me on my toes.............always running behind him for this or that. Moreover their online classes......... that's another story, will write about it in some other post.
As it is said that "Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar". In order to stay healthy and energetic throughout the day, it's very important to have a fulfilling breakfast. It is the first meal of the day, and it is the meal that the body uses to top up its glucose levels after 8-12 hours of fasting. If you skip your breakfast, you will have a shorter attention span, be less alert, take longer to react, have low blood sugar, and decreased productivity. So, never ever skip your breakfast.
Coming on to today's post it's all about a breakfast recipe which is not only healthy but fulfilling too. It is packed with nutrients and it requires very little time to prepare. Today's recipe is Oats Idli. Oats are among the healthiest grains on earth. They are gluten-free and a great source of vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants. There are many health benefits of oats including weight loss, lower blood sugar levels, and a reduced risk of heart disease.
So, without any further ado let's begin with the recipe:
