This one is easy, at least on paper: become a true friend yourself. One of my favorite quotations comes from Gandhi: Be the change you wish to see in the world.. Be the friend you want to have. We all tend to attract people into our lives whose character mirrors our own.
And steel-cut oats are even more nutrient-packed than regular oats. The big problem, however, is that cooking steel-cut oats is too time consuming for many people. So a great no fuss alternative is to soak the oats overnight, no cooking involved. This method is so simple, you can have different variations of steel-cut oats every week! I like using my homemade almond milk for the nutty flavor, but regular milk works just as fine. Feel free to play around with the ingredients. If you have fresh berries or any kind of dried fruit, throw them in.
Steel cut oats could be considered a power food because they are an excellent source of protein, soluble and insoluble fiber and select vitamins and minerals. The benefits of steel cut oats exceed the benefits of rolled oats because of the way they are processed. Steel cut oats are dense and chewy as a result of being passed through sharp, steel blades that cut them into thin slices that helps retain more fiber and protein. Steel cut oats, just as any whole oats, make a healthy addition to your regular diet.
