There's good reason to eat your morning meal. Breakfast eaters have a decreased risk of type 2 diabetes. Start your day with oatmeal. Oats contain beta-glucan, a fiber shown to improve blood glucose control. This carb-smart formula provides at least 3 grams of fiber and fewer than 30 grams of carbs per serving.

Ingredients

½ cup water
¼ cup rolled oats
¼ cup fresh blueberries
1 tablespoon sliced almonds
1 teaspoon honey
⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

Bring water to a boil in a small pot. Add oats and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until water is absorbed and oats soften, about 5 minutes.
Stir in blueberries, almonds, honey, and cinnamon.

Cook's Notes:

Cook oats either on the stovetop or in a microwave according to individual package instructions.

For more protein, add 1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon milk to stovetop-cooked oats about 3 minutes before the end of cooking. Cook, stirring frequently, until egg is cooked through.

Variations:

Apple Pie Oatmeal: Sliced apples, chopped pecans, maple syrup, and apple pie spice.

Islander Oatmeal: Chopped mango, chopped cashews, and ground ginger.
