MMMMM, Steel cut oatmeal with fresh blueberries and about 1 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon!

Blueberry Benefits: Contains antioxidant, can improve memory, packed with vitamin C and manganese, fibrous.
Steel Cut Oatmeal Benefits: Low glycemic index, filled with fiber, a complex carb that won’t raise your blood sugar too high or too fast and will give you long lasting energy!
All in all, this is a high fiber, natural breakfast with beautiful antioxidants and a lower glycemic index!
*look up more on the health benefits of these three foods, there is much more!
*note: this bowl is quite big, I assure you this was a healthy portion. :)
So, what did you have for breakfast today? How did it benefit you?
Indulge in a little cancer prevention. Carrots, which are rich in Vitamin A/beta-carotene (an antioxidant), fiber, various minerals, and B-complex vitamins, are shown to reduce the risk of breast, lung and colon cancer.
If you really don’t want to eat them then mash ‘em up and slather on your face, carrots are wonderful for your complexion (eaten or worn!)
