Slimming World Speedy Oatmeal - 4 Ways!!
Sometimes it can be hard to incorporate speed foods into your breakfast, certain popular fruits are not speed foods and vegetables can often not seem appealing first thing in the morning.
As you know speed foods boost your weight loss, and are often high satiety, which means they will keep you fuller for long without too using too much of calorific value.
If you love oatmeal (porridge), then you will love these 4 ways to eat it incorporating a good amount of speed foods.
1. Chocolate Zucchini Oatmeal
Who would of thought zucchini would taste great in oatmeal. You've all heard of zucchini cake right? Well combining into your oats with the deliciousness of cocoa results in chocolate silky creamy goodness. I like to add a little drizzle of milk and honey, just for that creamy sweetness you expect with Chocolate
