This recipe contains lots of fibre, which is great for healthy living! The fibre in oats is soluble which can be digested by the body and can help to reduce the amount of cholesterol that is in the blood. Soluble fibre dissolves in the gut to form a jelly like substance. This fibre slows down the release of glucose into the blood stream. Soluble fibre in oats help slow the digestion of food and therefore slow the blood sugar response. Insoluble fibre can’t be digested, so it passes through your gut without being broken down, and it helps other foods to move through your digestive system more easily.

Enjoy!
