“You should prepare it the night before and keep it in the fridge to consume it the next day”, says Priscila. Soak the oats in milk, juice and until yogurt will serve to guarantee a delicious flavor and a different texture.

As the protagonist of the meal is the cereal (rich in fibers soluble and insoluble), the result is a food that “contributes to the feeling of satiety, helps to reduce blood cholesterol levels and control blood sugar. In addition to helping with intestinal function”, says the nutritionist.

Another widely used ingredient is sizzle, a source of fiber and omega 3, a “good fat”. It prevents cardiovascular diseases, lowers blood pressure and is considered a natural anti-inflammatory.
