Easy and Amazing Oatmeal Recipes to Try This Week!
Ask anyone what their favorite breakfast is, and you’ll likely get answers ranging from veggie omelets to sugary cinnamon buns. But how many people can say their favorite morning meal is oatmeal?
Well, that’s all about to change. Not only is oatmeal super healthy (it’s packed with belly-filling fiber), but it’s also incredibly versatile. Whether you prefer the grains sweet or savory — or packed with protein or healthy fats — we have the right recipe for you. And remember that no matter which flavor combination you choose, one thing is guaranteed: You’ll never look at oatmeal the same way again.
Oatmeal with fresh blueberries and all-natural maple syrup: One cup of oatmeal has about four grams of fiber in it. Consuming the right amount of fiber will alleviate constipation. Being constipated can put extra pressure on the bladder, increasing the urge to go. Putting fresh blueberries and natural maple syrup on top of the oatmeal will add sweetness to the dish. As an added bonus, research has shown that eating blueberries may reduce a person's risk for cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Blueberries have also been linked to supporting urinary tract health.

Blueberry Muffin Overnight Oats Our love of overnight oats continues with this mouthwatering blueberry version from Eat Yourself Skinny. (Seriously, how gorgeous is this?) The Greek yogurt and chia seeds add an extra shot of protein (13.4 grams in one jar!) and a chewy, flavorful texture. And did we mention it only takes a few minutes to make?

Egg white omelet with spinach, and mozzarella cheese:Eggs get a bad rap in most health circles, but when the yoke is removed from the picture, an egg white becomes a high-protein, low-fat food option that has no cholesterol. The spinach adds extra iron, potassium, and antioxidants to the mix. And, while certain kinds of dairy can be irritating to some people's bladders, non-aged cheeses such as mozzarella are usually well tolerated. You can sprinkle parsley and chives (two spices that don't cause bladder inflammation) in the omelet for extra flavor.
