How do you make healthy oatmeal?
The recipe for fit oatmeal is perhaps more accessible than regular oatmeal. In addition to bringing a lot of satiety, this version of porridge brings the nutritional benefits of oats and is delicious. Follow the instructions below to make the best healthy fit oatmeal :
- In a saucepan, heat 1 cup of skim milk to a point before boiling (when it starts bubbling along the sides of the saucepan). So please put it on low heat
- Add two tablespoons of oat flakes and stir over low heat until the point of porridge
- Finally, please place it in a bowl and sprinkle some powdered cinnamon over the porridge for more flavour.
In short, the size of the oat flakes is to your liking, as is the point of the porridge. We do not recommend using any sweetener in the preparation. Cinnamon is recommended as a “spice” for the recipe because it improves the taste and metabolism and helps you lose weight faster.
Fit and healthy oatmeal recipes
Now you will learn several variations of oatmeal recipes to lose weight faster, in addition to the significant contribution to your health.
We’ll show you from the classic oatmeal to the most diverse variations of this recipe so that you’ll never get tired of this porridge so beneficial to your health. Check out!
1. Common oatmeal (classic)
As the classic oatmeal contains crystal sugar and milk, we decided to bring alternatives to these ingredients that are not so healthy. For example, replace regular milk with a skimmed type or even a vegetable version. Also, use brown sugar as it is more beneficial. Check out:
- Add 1 cup of milk (of your choice) in a saucepan and one teaspoon of brown sugar. Shake well
- When it is a point before boiling, place on low heat and add two tablespoons of oat flakes
- Then keep stirring until you reach the porridge point.
2. Oatmeal with banana
The porridge oats and bananas are companions in one of the recipes in the most common breakfasts in various parts of the world. See how to prepare:
- Heat 1 cup of skimmed milk
- When it is close to boiling, lower the heat and add two tablespoons of oat flakes and stir until the porridge point.
- Then put it in a bowl and set it aside
- Meanwhile, cut a banana into slices
- Finally, place the banana slices on top of the porridge. You can sprinkle cinnamon, too, if you prefer.
Some people like to let the porridge cool and eat it with a sliced banana. It is noteworthy that no matter the temperature of the porridge, it will maintain its benefits as long as it is consumed within 1 hour after its preparation.
3. With water and without milk
Oatmeal made with water is one of the options for those who are lactose intolerant. Furthermore, when made with water instead of milk, porridge is even less caloric, as milk has fats that water does not have. See how to prepare:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, add two tablespoons of oat flakes and water (enough to have one finger of water left over the bits)
- Then microwave without stirring for 1 minute on medium power
- Finally, mix well and set aside for 3 minutes.
Add less water if you want the gruel to be firmer and drier. Over time, you learn the proper measures for the porridge to be your favourite way! However, it is essential to clarify that oatmeal with water should not be made in a pot.

How many calories are in oatmeal?
This value depends on the recipe you follow and what ingredients are used. For example, the recipe with just 1 cup/glass of skim milk and 2 1/2 tablespoons of oat flakes has only 224 calories.
This is a meagre value for breakfast, for example. Even with adding fruit, the value is still adequate for a healthy and slimming diet. If the porridge is made with water instead of milk, the value decreases to approximately 100 calories.
