Sames

[@wa6184]

Lunch suggestions for all the commenters having a problem with that: I always prep a carb (quinoa, rice, millet etc) + protein (beans, chickpeas, lentils) + veggies (raw or roasted). Then I mix it up but I use different dressings to make it either a salad (add spinach and a oil vinegar dressing) or a Mexican bowl (add Mexican spice mix and oil) or Asian bowl (add soy sauce or sweet chili sauce). That way you get all the good stuff without it being boring and the same flavour every day.

[@dharsheeran]

wake up and smell the coffee please. Peanuts, flax seeds, chickpeas, lentils, and beans have no protein. DIAAS shows that less than 20% of the protein on the nutrition label is actually being absorbed by your body from plant-based products (DIAAS is the protein quality scale, showing how much of the protein is absorbable by your body). Compare this to eggs, meat, or cheese, where 100% of the protein is absorbed and can be utilized. Also, plant-based sources do not have creatine, the essential amino acid needed to grow muscle. I understand how you got sucked into this cult of plant-based garbage, I was too. Abbey is a liar and is manipulating us all. As a previous sheep, I say to you, flee from that rotten shepherd.

Right now I am loving my overnight oats. I use 1/2 a cup of quick oats, 2-3 tbsp chia seeds, one cup 2% milk, a few shakes of ground cardamon, and a few drops of liquid Sucralose. Keeps me full for 5+ hours.

I think it'd be really interesting to see you react to nutrition and diet culture-y scenes in movies... Not necessarily movies about, like, ED, but movies where it's more casually thrown in. I'm sure viewers could probably offer suggestions cuz there's a lot of questionable things from 80s to 2010s movies.

One for me is in the Disney movie Ice Princess, three figure skaters order lunch at the snack bar and they order: "a BLT, hold the B, heavy on the L", "one beef patty, squish it until it's dry" and "a salad, iceberg lettuce, garbanzo beans, and a lemon wedge. And a quarter-cup of cheese."

When I make batches of cooked oatmeal, I cut up some dried dates for the sweetness. I do meal prep overnight oats, but I heat mine up at work (and sometimes use brewed coffee as my liquid-add a drizzle of chocolate syrup and it’s like a mocha coffee!)

[@gpav6630]

I love the oatmeal you made. i tend to do it as a baked oatmeal which is the family favorite. I sometimes mix the peanut butter with Greek yogurt and swirl it into the oatmeal.

[@AbbeysKitchen]

Sounds delicious!

[@Katepwe]

Yup…..me too. I cut it in squares, wrap individually and freeze. To serve….thaw, warm with some milk, top with yogurt and berries.

[@tf7602]

I have a mini pot that has the right size for one serving of oatmeal, so i make it fresh almost every morning in the colder months. The cleanup between one small pot and one bowl is pretty much the same. It's also sth. that my stomach really likes. My go to is flax seeds and penut butter as well. For toppings and extras, i usually have a big jar where i mix nuts and dried fruits etc. Whenever the jar gets a bit lower i top it up with whatever i feel or what's onnsale and shake the jar, so that's how i get vatiety.

[@jesseandersen4055]

People always look at me like I’m crazy when I say this but squash is a great replacement for banana if you don’t have bananas or don’t like them or whatever. Provides the sweetness and extra fiber and all the nutrients that come with all the different varieties of squash.

[@dharsheeran]

@@AbbeysKitchen I was formerly manipulated by you. I lost my period and gained fat, while losing muscle, all while following your "healthy eating" habits. You liar, you make me so enraged. Please, ell your followers about the DIAAS. Plant-based sources of protein actually have no absorbable protein. Peanut butter isn't healthy, and we both know it. From anti-nutrients to excess calories and unhealthy fats shrinking our cell membranes and therefore longevity (look up Dr. Franz's study), peanut butter is horrible for us, and yet you promote it so frequently. I can't believe I fell for it. And look at me now. You robbed me of so much, and how dare you continue to rob so many others.

[@keirafirestone5129]

My version of the cereal is milk (usually oat or soy milk), a serving or so of peanut powder, a serving a nutravege omega-3, then I stir in frozen raspberries, and break up any clumps, then dump in a bunch of Froot Loops. Keeping the raspberries frozen helps stop the cereal from getting soggy too fast.

[@Diana-qp2rw]

Nice ideas! But I have a little suggestion for videos like this, can you please add time stamps in the future so that it’s easier for your viewers to get to the recipe they’d like to try?

[@AbbeysKitchen]

Added! Thanks for the suggestion. 🙂

[@stacyfakename]

Ok but I've been making your protein oatmeal recipe every morning this week. I am in love and it keeps me full way longer than anything else!

I make my own version of the busy breakfast: 2 pieces of bread with hummus or cheese + a jogurt where I add protein powder, a fruit, cashews and chia or flax seeds (and sometimes chocolate sprinkles). It's glorious

[@clairedaniels3292]

I love making a baked oatmeal at the beginning of the week, I make it in a 9x13 and I like to add either grated carrots or zucchini. Then every morning I cut off a slice, microwave, and maybe add some jam on top yum

[@milliemesa]

I need to get up pretty early for my job and breakfast is always a slice of bread with cheese, cause it‘s a no brainer. The frozen Oatmeal is a great idea! I will try this out. I already love the Proats ❤ Thank you

[@jackiehammerton]

I love your videos Abbey! I always start my days with oats (made with whole milk) and just change up the toppings. I top my oats with apple and walnuts, banana and peanut butter, or blueberries and chia seeds. For me, oats are perfect all year round, especially in the winter when I need a hot breakfast before venturing out into the blistering cold to catch the bus for work. Oh, and I always, always have a cafe latte at breakfast. Yep! That’s how I start my morning ❤

[@DoeRaeMe]

Lunch is my problem as well… I always have such limited time and the stress of the day has caught up with me…

[@AbbeysKitchen]

I feel that

[@forrestfey]

To make oat porridge sweet must be a culttural thing. Where I’m from it is suposed to be salty, but adding peanut butter seems like a good idea.

[@Banannna228]

Super helpful. I ate breakfast today for the first time in forever. Eggs with spinach and cheese, pb toast, half an orange. Im coming off of a few years of keto and intermittent fasting. It was working for me, i mean i lost weight... but I guess i just got sick of it and i really missed eating REAL bread, pasta and rice. And potatoes lol. Im hoping i can develop a healthy relationship with food where i dont feel deprived and dont resort to starving myself.

[@flymeaway12]

You have to check out Nadiya Hussain's Egg tortilla. They are amazing. I make them all the time since they are so easy and so customizable! Feel like they are a great from a HCC perspective too.

Fav lunch most of the stuff is from Trader Joe’s: a recreation of the Panera chicken Baja bowl: frozen brown rice from tj, tuna or shredded chicken, edamame, grape tomatoes cut up, cowboy caviar from tj, salsa verde, greek yogurt. So filling and delicious!!

[@irishrose82]

I'd love your opinion on oats and type 2 diabetes. Obviously minus any sugar or syrups. Some medical professionals recommend oats/porridge for breakfast for slow release energy but the hardcore keto diabetics show it spikes sugars in the hours after eating. Tbh I'd rather a bowl of porridge than a low carb, fat heavy meal

[@hG21509]

I’m replying to you because I’m also a dietitian. Oatmeal is a great option for healthy breakfast. It’s got fiber and does not usually case a spike in sugar. Now everyone reacts to foods different and spike in blood sugar will depend on what is in it and the portion size. I think if you enjoy porridge for breakfast you can definitely continue to eat it . Like Abbey recommends pair your carbs with protein ( this could be Greek yogurt, nut butter, or eggs). After eating ~ 2 hours it’s normal to have BG trends between 100-180 (this is typical for those with diabetes) above 180 it’s considered high. Maybe try checking your blood sugar after eating porridge to see how it affects you. ❤

[@annjames1837]

Oats always raised my blood glucose levels!! Just Like bread and pasta. I wanted to avoid going on meds so I had to change my diet and adopt a more keto diet. My doctor recommended no more than 75 carbs a day

[@Konaboy]

Ann you are on the right track. Get it down to 30g or less or even 0 grams a day. Happy Health👍

[@sparklesparkle4851]

When I first saw this, I was weirded out by peanut butter and blueberries in oatmeal as I was a brown sugar and cinnamon girl pretty much my whole life. But, Abbey, girl, I almost always put blueberries on my oatmeal! 😋 Now, I'm back writing this recipe down as an act of self care. ❤

Hey Abbey, i really need your advice. I’m a 16 year old female and im trying to focus on muscle gain and fat loss. Im currently eating around 1600 calories (more or less some days) but im trying to reverse diet. When I count calories I sometimes feel like 1600 isn’t enough but I feel bad when I want to eat more because I don’t want it to ruin my progress. Do you recommend reverse dieting?

How worried should we be about added sugar, like in the honey or maple syrup? I’ve been told you should limit to 30g/day which isn’t very much at all.

[@Konaboy]

Keep up that way of thinking. Carbs and sugars is the root of all diseases

[@lutziputzi]

You shouldn’t be worried. The small teaspoon to tablespoon going in your oatmeal isn’t going to kill you. Besides, if a bit of added sugar gets you to enjoy eating much healthier foods, isn’t that a great thing?

[@itsjudystube7439]

@@lutziputzi It isn’t about sugar as in using a teaspoon of sugar or adding just a little Maple syrup, it is about the sugar content of the total ingredients, banana for example is high sugar. Even the strawberries and blueberries and especially the chocolate chips add to the effect on blood glucose levels. Sugar (starch, honey, glucose, fructose, dextrose etc) is particularly bad for the body where Cancer is concerned. I would like to know what additives are in the nut milk and in the protein powder. It all seems high in additives and sugar to me, but it could easily be tweaked to be clean of those things.

[@lutziputzi]

@@itsjudystube7439 Natural sugars are great fast-acting energy for your body? A banana doesn’t even have more than 30 grams of carbs, nevertheless sugar. Last time I checked, daily sugar intake should be around 100 grams for a 2000kcal diet. It’s better to eat a little more sugar than to not eat vegetables because you can’t find pleasure in them. You can’t live your life being scared of bananas.

[@BC-np8cb]

Sounds like teacher schedule. I'm on a simlar time table, and I never want food before I leave home. Once at work it's go go go. I mix different raw or dry roasted nuts maybe with some unsweetened dried cherries, occasionally some chocolate chips. I just have a big bad of it for the week and eat some before work gets hectic. It's not ideal, but nuts for me are a good balance of, quick fuel that's not heavy feeling or messy. I'm often not that hungry before lunchtime, so I don't see any problem with waiting unless it causes other problems.
