10. Flavored instant oatmeal
Oatmeal alone offers plenty of health benefits such as improving blood sugar control and lowering cholesterol levels while protecting LDL cholesterol from damage.
“It’s such a shame that a super healthy and delicious food like oatmeal gets an unhealthy makeover with a deluge of sugary flavors,” says Pine. “Even the leading brands contain multiple sources of sugar, artificial colors and flavors, and even partially hydrogenated oil, which means trans fat.”
However, if you want to follow a healthier lifestyle Pine says that instant oatmeal can be a good choice— remember to stick with the plain kind. Add your own toppings such as fruit, sliced almonds and a touch of honey for a tastier breakfast.
