Tips for incorporating Seeds.

oatmeal, rolled oats & porridge are the same thing. Just a culturally differently named food. And I eat them every day. I eat traditional oats. Initially after surgery I was advised instant which are a little more processed then I transitioned to traditional. (Check the ingredients on your pack if it’s just oats your fine.) Then add your own flavours. I add yoghurt, collagen powder, dried cranberries, fresh blueberries and yes seeds.

Otherwise seeds on yoghurt or in salads are good too. You could sprinkle them on anything you may use breadcrumbs too like a cauliflower gratin or add them to any crumb mix for breaded whatever. Try mixing some in your meatballs or meat loaf for a little crunch.

PS. I’ve noticed a few influences being anti oats (probably either being paid to promote an alternative likely a supplement or are pro keto) but they’re fibre & fibre is good for you. It’s filling, helps you poop, can help reduce cholesterol so is good for cardiac health, can help regulate blood sugars, can lower risk of stomach cancer.

I too have noticed the "influences" being antioats. When I was referring to researching oats and finding they're not as good for you as they've once thought, I was referring to American grown / and or processed oats oatmeal. Too many residual pesticides, GMO's, cross contamination, fertilizers and finally stripping the grain.

Make sure you choose non processed high Fiber oats full husk types!

Oh that sounds good. So I googled and found one recipe tbat omits the egg and a couple with more spices added, but they have oil. What are the measurements? And what temp do you bake them? I recently got a rotary cheese grater so I have been all about trying different cheeses. These sound great.

I use this recipe but omit the oil and use 1/4 cup egg whites instead of the egg and fold in the seeds with the cheese and flour before adding the egg.

I'd probably bake them into some homemade sourdough bread. Something akin to Whole Foods Seeduction Bread for those that are familiar with it?

Thank you, they look delicious

So many good replies already.

I sprinkle seeds onto and into almost EVERYTHING. They are filling and add fab micronutrients. My local supermarket does a big 7 seed toasted mix so I don't have to think about that.

Salads big time. Sandwiches. Porridge (oatmeal). And then every dinner. I do this several times a day. These and nuts are my secret weapons.

This is the porridge of my childhood:

So that’s like sweet grits almost. Very Interesting. I actually like grits with butter and salt. Haven’t had them in a long time but they are really good. I just never learned to make them and the store bought packets just aren’t the same.

I think I will use them more once I’m out of weight loss phase but I want to incorporate some now just to get the variety of nutrition that they offer. Got my labs back this morning and they are good so far. I would like to keep them that way.

The version I grew up with has a smoother silky texture, not really like grits.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
