One quick and easy snack for me contains fruit, granola and oatmeal. I do my best to grab fruit at the local farmers market. My favorite brand of granola and oatmeal is Purely Elizabeth. Their products never seem to disappoint. My favorite flavor is the blueberry gluten-free granola.
A few nutritional benefits of oatmeal:
- high levels of antioxidants, can lower blood pressure, improve blood flow, reduce inflammation (why I LOVE it!)
- oatmeal has beta-glucan fiber which can improve your insulin response
To name a few vitamins:
- magnesium (improve quality of sleep)
- iron (aids in immune system strength, helps eliminate fatigue)
- phosphorus (filters waste out of the kidneys, helps produce RNA and DNA)
- zinc (aids in regulating immune responses)
- folate (can help aid as a anti-depressant)
- copper (helps maintain healthy blood vessels, immune system and aids in iron absorption)
- vitamins B-1 and B-5 (build up metabolism, hormone production, helps body maintain energy)
