Oatmeal with Olive Oil and Oranges
A twist on traditional sweet oats, this savory variation uses extra-virgin olive oil and oranges in lieu of oft- favored brown sugar. The olive oil is packed with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats to help stabilize blood sugar and control cravings throughout the day.
