Oats

Oats provide a good source of complex carbohydrates which release energy into the body more slowly, keeping us feeling fuller for longer. Oats are also a rich source of beta-glucan-rich soluble fibre, which has been shown to reduce blood cholesterol levels.

Natural Sugars

Fruit provides the natural sugars in this recipe along with a range of important vitamins and minerals. Sugars in this form are much better for our bodies than artificially added sugars that only add calories.
