Strawberry and Oat bran shake

 There is so much debate going on whether to eat oats or bran of oats.

Here is the clear information about what is Oat bran and its nutrition.

A whole grain contains three segments of a seed the endosperm, germ and bran. As the name indicates, oat bran only contains the bran of the seed, which means it is not a complete whole grain.

It is said to be high in Fiber  and Protein. So eating 100gms of oat bran every day will count 30% of your fiber and Protein intake. 

Strawberries or any berries are less in Sugars and rich in vitamins and minerals. Adding a cup of sliced strawberries to your breakfast is going to taste delicious and your fruit intake will be fulfilled. 



Now to make a healthy breakfast using the above ingredients is much easier when compared to our Indian conventional breakfasts (idly,vada,dosa and Upma) as this does not involve any preparation.

Ingredients 

1 Cup of Oat bran(serving cup of 60ML)

4 Cups of water for cooking oat bran

2 Cups of strawberries 

2 Cups of Skim milk 

2 Spoons of protein powder of your choice( I use Pea protein as its good with my digestion) 

2 Cups of water for shake 

Method

Boil 4 cups of water in a vessel. Add Oat bran and make it into a porridge consistency and let it cool. 

Place your Sliced strawberries, Milk, Protein powder, Cooled down porridge and Water in a blender and blend it to a smooth shake. 

Pour it in a tumbler and enjoy your breakfast. 

I normally do it in my bottle blender so that i can take it with me which saves my eating time :)
