Lower your cholesterol with this easy, healthy, Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Recipe

Do you need to lower your cholesterol or just need a new breakfast idea?

Oatmeal is great for a heart healthy breakfast. It’s full of whole grains and soluble fiber which gets our system ready for the day and help to keep us more full for longer. Its also a great cholesterol aid and has been proven to lower LDL (bad) and raise HDL (good).
This is a recipe for ONE serving so if you want to make some for your family or to have another day, just double or triple the recipe for how many servings you want.

Healthy CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER OATMEAL

*1 Tbsp. of flax (optional)
*1 tsp. of chopped walnuts (optional)

Combine all ingredients together. Microwave for 2 minutes. Stir, then put back in for 30 seconds.
