Oatmeal is a great source of soluble fiber and a versatile and nutrient dense ingredient.
“Bob’s Red Mill Quick Oats are a staple in my pantry and I use them for everything from a classic oatmeal bowl to baked goods or in smoothies,” says Kristen Nicolai, MS RD, owner of Nutrition By Kristen. “While oats are naturally gluten-free, Bob’s Red Mill oatmeal is ensured gluten-free through their rigorous reviews and testing, making it a safe choice for those with celiac disease or gluten intolerances.”
Cereals are generally a good deal at Target, and you can occasionally find them on sale. Just don’t get distracted by all the sugary cereals.
“Look for cereals with less than 10 grams sugar and more than 3 grams fiber per serving,” advises registered dietitian nutritionist Elisa Bremner, MS, RDN, CDN, founder of Green Bites. “Heritage flakes are so delicious, and they really stay crunchy in milk. For a quick breakfast, I’ll have some Heritage Flakes with Ripple (pea milk, also available at Target) and sliced banana.”
