Organic oat flakes such as those proposed by Germinal Bio are an alternative to less healthy breakfasts, but how to use them? Here are some ideas
It is well known that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. So we should choose foods that are healthy and that provide us with the right amount of energy. Among these are the oat flakes, to be purchased strictly organic such as those proposed by Germinal Bio. But how to use them to prepare a breakfast that is both healthy and tasty? Here are 5 ideas.
If you are looking for a simple, good but also healthy solution for breakfast, you should probably opt for rolled oats. Oats are a particularly beneficial alternative cereal to wheat as it is rich in fiber but also a source of protein and low in fat. A perfect choice, therefore, also for those who are on a diet or want to maintain their healthy weight.
The properties of oats have been known since ancient times and one of its most important characteristics is the presence of beta-glucans, fibers that help maintain normal blood cholesterol levels.
But how to best enjoy them?
Well, first of all by choosing Germinal Bio Oat Flakes, a company that produces this cereal and many other products from organic farming, perfect to be consumed starting from breakfast.
Oatmeal can be eaten as is, adding just a little milk, yogurt or vegetable drink. But there are many ways to make breakfast based on this cereal tastier, also enriching it with additional nutritional properties.
We give you some ideas.

Muesli
Muesli is made up of a mix of cereals, dried or dehydrated fruit and seeds. This can also be achieved starting from oat flakes and is the choice made by Germinal Bio with its Muesli Frutti Rossi, a mix of gluten-free flakes and cereals, enriched by the unmistakable flavor of fruits such as blueberries, strawberries and raspberries.
An advantage that oat flakes offer is that they are gluten-free, their consumption is therefore also suitable for those suffering from celiac disease or gluten intolerance.
However, it must be considered that often, along the production chain, oats come into contact with other cereals that can contaminate it with traces of gluten. This is why it is important that those who have eliminated this protein complex from their diet are particularly careful and choose products with a supply chain dedicated to "gluten free". This is the case of Germinal BIO.
Just add a little milk, yogurt or vegetable drink and your organic and gluten-free breakfast will be ready in minutes.
granola
Unlike muesli, granola, which is always made up of a mix of cereals and dried or dehydrated fruit, is more crunchy and tasty, since the cereals it is made of are first baked in the oven and then mixed with rice syrup.
Germinal Bio offers a delicious oat and almond Granola that combines gluten-free cereals and almond flakes. Also in this case it is a product rich in fiber, ideal to be consumed together with milk or yogurt.
Porridge
Porridge is a kind of sweet soup that is prepared by wetting the oat flakes with milk or alternatively a vegetable drink of your choice. It can then be enriched with fresh seasonal fruit, dried or dehydrated fruit, cinnamon, vanilla or other spices of your liking. Find the recipe here.
Germinal BIO also offers gluten-free Oat Cream (Porridge), just add hot water or cereal drinks to the preparation to enjoy the porridge for breakfast, simple or enriched with fruit or chocolate chips as desired.
Crema budwig
You can use Germinal Bio oat flakes to prepare one of the most famous and appreciated breakfasts for those who follow a natural and healthy diet: the budwig cream. You will need 1 tablespoon of oat flakes, 2 teaspoons of oil seeds, 2 teaspoons of linseed oil, 2 tablespoons of yogurt or cottage cheese, the juice of half a lemon, 1 or half ripe banana, 1 seasonal fruit. For the preparation read here.
Protein pancakes
Have you ever thought about making protein pancakes from oatmeal? This is possible simply by grinding the flakes and making them have a consistency equal (or almost) to that of the flour. Then add egg whites, Greek yogurt, cinnamon (if you like) and baking powder or a pinch of baking soda, following the recipe you find here.
Even this breakfast can then be enriched with dried or fresh fruit, jam, maple syrup or other.
The importance of buying organic oatmeal
Even in the case of oat flakes, we recommend that you buy them exclusively organic. Choosing products from organic farming is a real lifestyle that allows us to take care of our health (avoiding ingesting traces of pesticides or GMO foods) but also to pay due attention to the environment and animals, increasingly tested. from the massive use of pesticides (think for example of the sharp reduction in the bee population).
Better still to choose oat flakes from companies that have a particular care for the environment and have successfully produced organic for decades such as Germinal Bio, which promotes environmental sustainability not only in the food production phase but also through eco-friendly packaging .
All the brand's packaging, in fact, ensure 100% recyclability and are preferably made of paper, with the aim of gradually eliminating plastic from all packaging. The internal bags, on the other hand, those in which the cereals are contained, are made with an innovative 100% vegetable, biodegradable and compostable material, certified “OK Compost”.
When we buy oat flakes for our breakfast, therefore, let's remember to choose quality products but also environmentally friendly.
