The Best Oatmeal Toppings for Weight Loss

Top It Right

If you choose your oatmeal toppings wisely, you can turn that breakfast bowl into a diet-perfect breakfast. And here's how to do it!

Balance the Macros

Plain oatmeal is a carb-rich meal. So, use toppings to balance it with proteins and healthy fats. Which ones are best?

1

Go Nuts

Top your oatmeal with high-protein nuts, like peanuts, almonds, and pistachios. Whole nuts or creamy nut butter are both great!

2

Tip in Mighty Seeds

Scatter your oatmeal with flax, hemp, or pumpkin seeds for even more proteins and healthy fats!

Add a Dollop of Yogurt

Greek yogurt or plant-based soy yogurt top up your porridge with proteins but very few calories — and even make it extra creamy!

4

Choose Low-Carb Fruits

A fruity topping makes your oatmeal tastier, but stick to low-calorie fruits like berries to keep the carbs in check!

4

And when you can't get berries, turn to low-calorie watery fruits like grapefruit, melon, or kiwi. Mix and match — and have fun!

5

Try a Spice Mix

Satisfy your sweet tooth with sweet spice blends, not sugar or syrups. Try pumpkin pie, chai, or carrot cake spice mix!

6

Boost it Up

Round up your oatmeal with a weight-loss booster. Try matcha for fat burn, ginger to curb hunger or turmeric to fight belly fat!
