Oatmeal fufu Recipe (Nigerian Healthy Swallow)

Oatmeal fufu is one of my favorite solids, especially when trying to lose weight.

Oatmeal Fufu is made from Quaker Oats. Yes! That grain you enjoy so much for breakfast. The good thing about oats generally is that they are healthy and great for weight loss.

The way it works is quite simple. Oatmeal Fufu will make you feel full faster therefore you eat less than the number of other fufu meal wraps you would normally consume.

It’s a healthy fiber-rich substitute for traditional solids. This does not mean I am against eating pounded yam, garri, Eba, Amala, etc. All these foods can be a part of a healthy meal.

Besides, it makes you feel full for a long time thus fewer food cravings between meals.

It is perfect for those who want to lose weight or uphold a healthy weight.
