Functional Foods Highlight
Oats: Oats are a super healthy naturally gluten-free grain. They are a great source of soluble fiber so they help balance hormones, keep you feeling full, and aid in weight loss. They also can help lower LDL cholesterol, keep your blood sugar stabilized, and support a healthy gut microbiome.
Opt for Old-Fashion rolled oats instead of the quick/instant kind because they are less processed and have a lower glycemic index than the instant variety; meaning they are more slowly digested and won’t cause as much of a spike in your blood sugar.
These overnight Bananas Foster Oats are the perfect breakfast or snack that you can prepare the night before and bring with you on the go. The chia seeds and oats are excellent sources of fiber that will keep you full and keep your gut microbiome happy and healthy. The banana not only gives you a little sweetness but also a ton of added health benefits from its rich nutrient content. Bananas are a good source of potassium, magnesium and vitamin B6 which help regulate blood pressure, mood, muscle and nerve function.

From the Chef:
This is a great recipe to make with any fruit you have that is becoming overly ripe. Mash up blueberries, strawberries or whatever other fruit you have around!
From the Doc:
Chia seeds are another great source of soluble fiber. This means that they swell when sitting in your gut, keeping you full for longer periods of time. In addition, they also are a great plant-based source of calcium, protein and omega-3 fatty acids.
