Smoothie to Lower Cholesterol (Oats Smoothie for Cholesterol)

[@aldonapryce4438]

I am delighted to find a meal that incorporates oatmeal without, hopefully, being the regular, mushy oatmeal cereal that I've thoroughly despised since childhood. I'm praying that this smoothie will be suitable for me. The cholesterol-lowering aspect would be a Godsend to me as well, as my doctor is planning to add an additional cholesterol lowering drug to my already copious drug regimen. I live with HBP, high cholesterol, diabetes and stage 4 chronic kidney disease. Juggling the needs of all of these maladies is daunting. At least I made it to age 75.

[@drjoetvMD]

No, it isn't mushy. There are other things you can do to reduce your cholesterol. Watch this playlist of videos kzbin.info/aero/PLauVj79oCFgCD1-WAmEoCoTHKtLefGe6c

This is a great smoothie and I have been using it. I would be glad if you test drive oats for blood sugar levels as you did with moringa. For me it raises but I wouldn't want to conclude it does for all

[@drjoetvMD]

Of course, oats will initially raise your blood sugar. It's a carb after all. If you don't have diabetes, your blood sugar will come down soon after. If you have diabetes, what you want to do is reverse your insulin resistance and you can eat all the healthy carbs you want. I did it. You can too

ive now tried all yr smoothies ... this being the last... & now id wished id made this the 1st as its my fav! never been a big oat meal fan & have been enduring cooked steel cut oats. will make this a regular in my diet regimen. i saw in the comments that u suggest rolled oats to steel cut for this smoothie but not sure i understand the reason for yr pref as you've said prev that steel cut has added health benefits over rolled. in any event ty for yr continued excellent work on this channel!!

[@drjoetvMD]

Yes, steel-cut oats is preferred to rolled oats when cooking oats but for this smoothie, I don't think steel-cut oats will work as rolled oats are previously steamed and pressed flat (meaning rolled oats are partially cooked) making rolled oats a better fit for this very smoothie

[@garrybarnett2135]

Dr Joe, thank you. Just made this drink. Surely the 1/4 cup of milk can't be a correct measurement. In the video the amount you poured in is way more than 1/4 cup. The consistency of my smoothie was more like a sorbet. I had to add 3/4 cup more of milk and even then it was still very thick. Hoping you can reply with confirmation. I would really like to make this on a daily basis but quarter of a cup of milk just can't be right. Look forward to hearing from you. 🙏

[@drjoetvMD]

Add more milk to make the smoothie to the consistency you consider okay for you. So long as you are not using dairy milk or coconut milk, we're good. You can even dilute the oat milk or any other non-dairy milk apart from coconut milk with water if you think you may be using too much milk i.e mix the milk with water or use the non-dairy milk all the way. No fixed rule about the amount of milk to use. Add to get it to the right consistency you like

Quick question, if I follow all the advice in order to lower my cholesterol how long would it take to see the results in my blood test. I'm scared that something can happen between now and when I get the level to the right number 😳

[@drjoetvMD]

It's difficult to give you a timeline as to how soon your cholesterol will drop and by how much. It is a slow process. Even statins take time to lower your cholesterol. Also everyone is different, so is our cholesterol level and how we metabolize it. You just do what you need to do and see how it goes. In any case, you are still nourishing your body with good food using the recipe. Always a good idea to take a broader look at dietary interventions like this, rather than a tunnel vision approach

Can you make a film and explain the difference between cholesterol and high blood pressure . I feel they are similar to each other into medicine . Thanks for sharing .

[@drjoetvMD]

No, they are not similar. Cholesterol is a risk factor for high blood pressure and if you have high blood pressure with high cholesterol together, that increases your risk of a heart attack and stroke

Yes please I’m diabetic

[@drjoetvMD]

Not sure what you mean

Or want

[@xaviervlawrence7941]

Sounds great! I'm using black ginger and moringa powder to help with my blood pressure. Can I add this to the smoothie?

[@drjoetvMD]

Yes, you can

[@lilianasaba9846]

Looks very yummy. Doctor Joe, can I boil my oats a little? What can I replace strawberries with? Strawberries, blueberries (that category of fruits is extremely costly here and hard to find) with? Is oat milk a must or can I use water or soy milk?

[@drjoetvMD]

Of course you can use soymilk. I don't know fruits available there where you are, so can't advise. You can use apples and kiwis if available. No, you cannot use boiled oats in smoothies. You can have boiled oats separately as a meal but not in smoothies. It will be messy

[@lilianasaba9846]

@@drjoetvMD thanks. Apples are available and affordable. Will use this. Have noted you response on boiled oats. Let me build courage to face a smoothie with raw oats. Pack doesn't show if it's rolled or otherwise. Thanks.

[@drjoetvMD]

@@lilianasaba9846 They are probably rolled. Most commercially available oats are rolled. Few stores sell steel-cut oats (the best oats to eat) but not appropriate for a smoothie anyway
