Oat water: a delicious and refreshing solution
One of the things that usually happens to us when the hot weather arrives is that we look for refreshing foods. Among ice creams, smoothies or salads, we find a unique recipe that will not only refresh us, but will also provide us with a series of extraordinary benefits
Yes, we are talking about oatmeal water. Although it may sound a little bland, this drink is delicious and very easy to prepare. The ingredients are not many and it does not require a long and tedious process. To start with this recipe you will need water and oats. Choose the water you need and a cup of this cereal. You will also need a cinnamon stick or a teaspoon of this spice, a sweetener (it can be any sweetener, although we recommend honey for its properties) and, if you want to drink it cold, a few ice cubes.
To prepare this drink, soak the oats for half an hour. Once it has softened, add the cinnamon and blend the mixture. Add the sweetener and blend again. If you want to drink it cold, pour the mixture into a glass and add ice or refrigerate for an hour.
The properties of these ingredients
The ingredients that make up oat water are very beneficial to our health. Oats, in particular, are an ideal food if our goal is to lose weight. This cereal is very satiating and will help you regulate your consumption of snacks between meals. In addition, oats prevent glucose spikes, help in the digestive process, are key in reducing cholesterol and are anti-inflammatory.
Another ingredient is cinnamon. This spice is delicious and provides an extraordinary amount of benefits. It is ideal for increasing the metabolic rate, which helps to burn calories more quickly. In addition, it reduces blood glucose, which helps to avoid binge eating. On the other hand, while oats help digestion, cinnamon promotes the absorption of nutrients during this process, making them an ideal combination. Finally, it is a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory
The recommendation to include honey instead of other sweeteners is key. Honey is not only a natural sweetener, but it is also very nutritious and helps control appetite. It also produces a greater feeling of satiety, which will help you not to snack outside meal times
