Some ancient dishes are suddenly trendy again under new names: Oatmeal is now called porridge. You can find out here whether the trending dish is also healthy and not just hip.
Porridge – that’s what’s behind the breakfast trend
Oatmeal – the name alone sends a shiver down the spine of many. How pleasantly different porridge sounds. We don’t want to spoil anyone’s illusions, but the porridge is by no means an insanely new and innovative creation. Porridge is nothing more than grandma’s good old oatmeal.
- But as is well known, old does not have to be bad or unhealthy – quite the opposite. Our neighbors know that too: the British have had porridge on their breakfast table for hundreds of years and it is a kind of national breakfast. Porridge is also ideal as a vegan breakfast.
- But what makes porridge so healthy? In addition to vitamins, protein, and minerals, oatmeal also contains complex carbohydrates. These ensure that you have a pleasant feeling of satiety for a very long time and remain productive. The fiber in the oatmeal also ensures healthy intestinal flora and regular digestion.
- In addition, with the help of the porridge, you also keep your figure slim, since your body can better utilize complex carbohydrates. The insulin level remains constant over a long period of time. The notorious cravings stay away and there is no craving for sweets.
- If you cut a banana into your porridge, you will reinforce this effect even more. In addition, our body can better utilize the nutrients of the banana in combination with a porridge. You can also enhance your porridge with other fruits – both in terms of nutrients and taste.
- Since the fruit already has enough sweetness, you can also do without additional sugar.
