Health Benefits – Mocha Oatmeal
As well you know, we don’t provide you with any old junk. This tasty breakfast contains nearly 20 grams of protein – so if you really do hit the gym this is a great way to start.
Protein is essential for rebuilding muscles after a workout, and is critical in so many ways throughout the body (its the crucial ingredient in all our vegetarian post-workout meals !).
Processed red meat, while being a high source of protein, can also lead to cardiovascular disease – something we’d like to avoid ( Potent Protein ). This recipe is a great way to up your protein intake.
It also contains 42% of your fiber GDA . Simply put, that’s a MASSIVE amount.
The average man should be eating a bare minimum of 20 grams per day – and should be aiming for 30 or more – yet the average American only manages 15 grams .
Fiber is incredible – eat enough and you’ll lower your chance of suffering from heart disease, diabetes and diverticular disease, among many others ( Fighting Chance Fiber ). Why wouldn’t you want to get enough?
