As a doctor, here’s the easy breakfast I recommend to my patients

 What to know

Doctors recommend overnight oats for gut and heart health. Adding peanut butter enhances flavor and satiety. Rolled oats are preferred over instant for steady blood sugar and cholesterol-lowering benefits. Mixing oats with maple syrup and milk, then refrigerating overnight, boosts resistant starch for gut health. Topping with fruit, yogurt and nuts adds protein and texture.
