#WellnessWednesday: As the weather grows cold, a warm bowl of oatmeal is a great way to get your daily whole grains intake. Try adding fresh fruit, seeds, or nut butter for some extra nutrients. Alternatively, you can choose savory toppings like wilted greens, a poached egg, and salt and pepper. 🥣🥬
Join our staff nutritionist Charanya Sundar as she shares some tips on balancing meals with fibers, whole grains, and proteins.
