Soy and Oats

Lately I've been obsessed with soy milk and oatmeal, otherwise known as 'Soy and Oats' (not to be confused with the musical duo). I'm glad that soy milk exists, being lactose intolerant and all, it's a good substitute for cow's milk. I also try to get miso soup whenever I can as it also contains limited amounts of soy. I'm convinced that miso soup and soy products in general is one of the secrets of the japanese people's longevity.

Oatmeal is surprisingly good. I confess I like the Quaker mini packets where they have them in cinnamon, apple, raisin, walnut and assorted flavors. Just add a little boiling water, top it with some soy milk and you have a nutritious meal. The Quaker oatmeal granola cereal is also good. And this thing is actually good for you, amazing.

I also tried the Quaker old fashioned style oatmeal which doesn't taste as good but is close to the pure form of oats, so it doesn't have the added sugars and artificial flavors the mini packets use.

These two items would be a good lazy man's meal: quick to prepare, easy to serve, fast to consume. Give it a try.

Soy milk and oat is how I start my day too. Try the quick cook Quaker Oats....add dry fruits or raisons to add sweet. I avoid pre-package cereals.
