Opt for Oatmeal :

Instant oatmeal is quicker and easier to make & comprises of certain nutritional benefits of the old-fashioned oatmeal. However, it comprises more of the artificial ingredients, low fiber& can have added sugar.

Keep a check on the fat:

Unsweetened, fresh canned or frozen fruits are the best. Adding a scoop of some healthy protein power & low-fat or nondairy milk, then mixing with some honey for sweetness. We can also add more nutrition by adding healthy nuts to it.
