Quaker Oats Shares Easy and Healthy Fiber-Rich Diet With The Quaker Kitchen Cook Off
It’s been said that
what you eat not only reflects how you look but also how you feel. One way of
boosting the health benefits of your diet is found in the magic of fiber which
are commonly found in fruits, veggies, cereal grains, oats and beans.
However, a study
has shown Filipinos actually consume less than 50% of the daily fiber
requirement which means your current diet might not be enough as you think!
According to the Philippine Society of
Nutritionist-Dietitians, Inc. (PSND), a study they conducted on working
Filipino adults show only almost 8 grams of fiber was reported to be consumed
per day on average. “This is very far from the recommended nutrient intake
(RNI) of 20 to 25 grams,” shares PSND Registered Nutritionist-Dietitian, Jake Brandon Andal.
This low intake of
fiber means Filipinos are missing out on an important nutrient which helps in aiding
digestion, preventing constipation and maintaining good digestive health. It
also helps manage weight and reduces the risk of acquiring heart disease.
Through the years,
Quaker Oats, the number 1 oats brand has introduced many fiber-rich products to
help Filipinos have a more balanced diet.
Oats have been
proven to have 7x more fiber per 100g serving versus long grain white rice
which helps fulfill the recommended consumption of fiber our body needs every day.
Now, Quaker Oats is
again introducing new and innovative recipes to encourage Filipinos to make
fiber a daily staple in their diet using oats from breakfast dishes, lunch, and
even to treats and desserts!
The Battle for the Best Healthy Treats
Quaker Oats
recently hosted The Quaker Kitchen Cook Off which featured brand ambassadors
Luis Manzano and Solenn Heussaff who challenged each other to prepare easy to
do, tasty, and nutritious recipes using Quaker Oats.
During the event,
which was also broadcasted via Quaker Philippines’ Facebook page, both health
buffs shared their go-to fruity and delicious desserts such as the Rainbow
Superfloat, Caramelized Bananas No-Bake Cheesecake, and Homemade Sorbetes.
Luis and Solenn
whipped up these fun recipes using Quaker Oats, and along with expert
nutritionists, also shared their tips to increasing fiber in your diet and
sustaining a healthy lifestyle without completely cutting out treats.
“I love Quaker Oats
and it has been a kitchen staple in the Manzano household since I was young. My
favorite recipe to make is definitely Overnight Oats because it’s quick and
easy but I’ve recently been leveling up my culinary skills! So now, the Rainbow
Superfloat recipe is a new favorite. It’s a great option if you feel like
having a more fruity and colorful breakfast or dessert that is also healthy,
light, and refreshing!” Luis shared during the program.
“It’s very
interesting how many healthy dishes you can make with oats as the main
ingredient!,” says Solenn. “Though there are other sources of fiber, Quaker
Oats is my go-to because it carries 7x more fiber* and it is highly versatile.
You can use it in every meal both for savory and sweet dishes like homemade
sorbetes, no-bake cheesecakes, and more!”
With these
fiber-rich recipes, treats can definitely still be sweet and delicious while
healthy and good for your body. Indulge yourself in tastier flavors without
sacrificing your diet and disturbing your digestion with Quaker Oats.
