The 11 Most Heart-Healthy Breakfasts Besides Oatmeal - Tasting Table
"For a recipe with zero cooking, this one packs a punch. Just under 500 calories, with around 16 grams of protein, 22 grams of fat, and 45 carbs, classic chia pudding is creamy, easy, and packs punchy nutritional benefits. Thanks to chia's high-fiber content, the carbs are naturally low, and while the fat might seem a bit higher than that of oatmeal, these are healthy fats that can possibly reduce the likelihood of cardiac disease."
"This staple breakfast packs an impressive nutritional profile, is extremely versatile (hot or cold, anyone, added fruits and nuts?), and can be easily made vegetarian or vegan. But, if oatmeal isn't your favorite or you're looking for alternatives, which breakfasts offer similar health benefits? We've come up with 11 tasty options, using the following nutritional profile of a ½ cup serving of oatmeal made with 2% milk as a guideline:"
Oatmeal delivers a balanced heart-healthy breakfast profile: roughly 8 g fat, 40 g carbs, 15 g protein, under 500 calories per ½ cup made with 2% milk, with fiber as a bonus. Various oatmeal alternatives can match these benefits while offering different macronutrient balances and higher unsaturated fats. Chia pudding provides about 16 g protein, 22 g fat (mostly healthy), and 45 g carbs with high fiber; low-fat milk reduces fat. Whole-grain protein pancakes or waffles allow customization of protein and fat depending on added milk or eggs. Preparation choices, such as using avocado oil instead of hydrogenated oils, influence heart-healthiness.
