The end of August and the beginning of September usually bring us an abundance of many people’s favorite autumn fruits. Pears are the ideal food for everyone who wants to sweeten themselves, invite the colder period and do their body a great service.
Pear is a rich source of dietary fiber that reduces flatulence and promotes faster bowel movement, which makes it useful for weight loss. Thanks to antioxidants and flavonoids, pears help in the fight against diabetes and protect blood vessels and the heart, while also reducing the level of bad cholesterol, having a positive effect on blood sugar levels, strengthening immunity and relieving inflammation.
When you mix this fruit with oatmeal and Greek yogurt, you are guaranteed a dose of healthy proteins and fats that will have a positive effect on your health and muscles. For this reason, we have prepared a recipe below that you can use to prepare baked oats with pears. 😊
