GRANOLA or OATS???

[JKurz1]

Which do you guys typically prefer? I finally found some solid, organic, rolled granola made by Ezekiel. Ever heard of it? 1g of sugar, low fat, etc. Same nutrional benefit as oats? Thoughts?

Ezekiel is a good brand, sold mostly in health food stores. However, for our needs, oats is a hands down choice.

Its just that I am around 3 cups a day now......getting old, sorta....even though some are cooked and some raw.....if ezekiel is solid, why are oats better?

Bulking, probably not much difference. I hear you on eating 3 cups.

I normally will add turkey bacon, a couple whole eggs, a piece of whole grain toast with peanut butter, some cottage cheese, etc. when trying to have a high calorie breakfast.

I throw some sugar free jam and mix it up in mine for a change of pace... quite tastey.

Cinn and Splenda works great too.

... some options to explore.

Sugar free strawberry or raspberry preserves in oats are divine

I do this alot....when the oats begin to boil, put in a teaspoon or 2 of vanilla extract, depending on how many cups you are eating, and let it simmer a minute. Or conversely, Log Cabin Sugar free syrup works well. Pour oats over your favorite frozen fruit, and top with cinnamon.
