Easy satisfying and delicious oatmeal and apple milkshake

   When I'm hungry at night, I always try to stay full and not overeat because at night it's  easier for the  food that one eats to turn into body fat,, so what I always do around 8:00 p.m, is prepare myself a satisfying oatmeal and aipple milkshake.With this milkshake you will  feel satisfied and full for the rest of the night so you won't have to overeat and feel like you're starving.

Here are the ingredients for this simple milkshake

Ingredients :


1 sliced apple green or red, it's up to you

3/4 a glass of milk (preferrably 0% or 1% low fat milk)

1/2 a cup of natural plain oameal

Put all three ingredients in a blender and  let it blend until it has a milkshake like texture and the oatmeal has fully blended. No sugar is needed because the sugar from the apple is enough to sweeten the milkshake. That's it!  You can now drink your milkshake. I hope you enjoy it !.If you really try this out please comment and say how you think it was. It's actually pretty yummy and is a great night meal substituter :P

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day !

Breakfast has always been and will always be the most important meal of the day. But why ? Simply because breakfast is the meal that gives you energy to start off your day. You wake up on an empty stomach, feeling all tired and sleepy, starting a new day . But if you don't fuel your body the way you should , you're going to feel tired all day long and won't have energy during the day .
If you want to lose weight and you think skipping breakfast is the right thing to do , you're wrong. Skipping breakfast will only unbalance and slow down your metabolism and instead of losing weight, you will gain weight because skipping meals ,specially breakfast,  is one of the worst things you can do !You will eat in bigger portions during the rest of the day, so it's much better to eat a lot in the morning and then eat smaller meals during the day.
So now you know. Always eat your breakfast no matter what !
