12 Ways to Eat Oats Other Than Oatmeal

You love yourself a piping hot bowl of oatmeal, flavored with bananas and nuts, apples and cinnamon, or even maple syrup and brown sugar. You like it cold, too—made overnight and right out of the fridge. And that’s good, because oats are excellent for your health: they’ve got lots of vitamins and minerals, plenty of antioxidants and are packed with filling fiber. Research even shows that they may reduce your risks of coronary artery disease and colorectal cancer.

But a bowl of oatmeal isn’t the only way to get this good-for-you food into your diet. Here are 12 ready-to-eat meals and snacks, all from Nutrisystem and made with tasty oats.

Peanut lovers, this bar is for you: Not only does it contain a healthy helping of your favorite nut alongside granola and crisps, but it’s also (very generously) drizzled with creamy peanut butter to offer a good source of protein in one perfect breakfast bar.
