Question:
My son has been mixing uncooked oatmeal in his smoothies ...is it good for you?
He mixes a lot of raw oatmeal in blender with fruit, milk etc. to make smoothies..He claims it fills him up and he uses this in pIace of meals at times to help him lose weight. Is large amts. of uncooked oatmeal safe to eat?
Answers:
I think it'd be ok for a while. I ate raw oatmeal when I was little and playing horses. If it really worries you, but the plain microwaveable oatmeal, I think it's cooked.
Or, if you want him to stop, oatmeal is kinda high in calories, suggest making the smoothies with something else, yogurt or something
