Have a healthy start to 2023

OATS and Tuna Mushroom Risotto

FOR many of us, the new year often means a clean slate for us to start anew with resolutions we hope to accomplish in the next 365 days. For some, this means setting health goals such as following a healthier lifestyle by eating right and regularly exercising.

However most of these tend to be unsustainable, leading to broken resolutions within a few weeks. To avoid this, it’s important to list things that can not only improve health but also be followed for life.

Have a delicious start to your healthy new year’s resolution with Quaker Oats, which can be used as the new go-to main ingredient in creating better-for-you food all year round. The oats brand has seven times more fiber vs. long grain white rice that aids digestion, powers up your day, and even has Beta-glucan which helps lower cholesterol levels. A promo ongoing in all leading supermarkets until supplies last, a 1.2 kg bag of Quaker Rolled Oats for only P180 comes with a free can of tuna.

Here are a couple of recipes to start out with:

Choc’oats Flakes

Serves 15-20 pieces

1/5 cup Quaker Rolled Oats

1 cup chocolate (can be milk, white or dark)

1/5 cup corn flakes 1/8 cup pinipig

2 tbsps margarine

Melt chocolate and margarine using a microwave oven or double boiler. Mix it often with a spoon to avoid burning it. Mix all ingredients together.

On a tray or a plate (that can fit your refrigerator), place a parchment paper.

Using a spoon, create small piles (one-bite size) with the mixture. Leave it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.

Remove it from the tray, plate and enjoy.
