Zoats or Zucchini Oats – health foods diets

This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy.

I snuck 1 cup of zucchini into my morning oats (think zucchini bread) together with a ripe banana to sweeten them naturally and loved how these Zoats or Zucchini Oats turned out for a high-fiber, healthy breakfast.

I’ve been making it a challenge to eat no less than one cup of vegetables with every meal (my goal is 5 cups per day). It is generally pretty easy for lunch or dinner, but breakfast will be difficult. I used to be eager about zucchini bread and was curious to see what would occur if I added zucchini to oatmeal. It was delicious – you possibly can’t even taste the zucchini! I sweetened the zoats naturally with ripe banana and topped them with blueberries and almonds. You may make this zucchini oatmeal recipe with so many toppings, like this Cinnamon Apple-Spiced Oatmeal, Peanut Butter Oatmeal, and Pumpkin- Spiced Oatmeal.

Must you eat vegetables with every meal?

I’ve added non-statchy vegetables to each meal for the past few months and have enjoyed the challenge. Most vegetables are high in fiber and low in calories, in order that they help fill me up without eating a ton of carbs or fat. Below are another advantages of eating quite a lot of vegetables every day:

Reduce blood pressure
Decrease the danger of heart disease and stroke
Has a positive effect on blood sugar levels
Helps with digestion
Prevents some kinds of cancer

Zucchini Oatmeal Ingredients

Zucchini: Peel seven ounces of zucchini and pulse it in a food processor. You can too shred the zucchini with a box grater.
Banana: Mash half of a ripe banana.
Egg Whites: You may buy liquid egg whites or separate the yolks from the whites until you fill a 3rd cup.
Oats: Use a 3rd cup of quick oats.
Milk: Make these zoats with whichever milk you like, like 2%, coconut, or almond milk.
Cinnamon: Stir some cinnamon into the oats and sprinkle more on top.
Toppings: Fresh blueberries, slivered almonds

Methods to Make Zucchini Oats

Mix zucchini, banana, egg whites, oats, milk, and cinnamon in a small pot and switch the warmth on medium low.
Stir the oats for 3 to 5 minutes until they’re cooked through and creamy.
Serve: Pour the oats right into a bowl and top them with blueberries, almonds, and cinnamon.

Variations:

Fruit: Swap blueberries with raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, or a combination.
Nuts: Top your zoats with walnuts or pecans or omit them if you happen to’re allergic.
Spices: Sub cinnamon with pumpkin pie spice.
Seeds: Add chia seeds for extra protein and fiber.
