Why Mcdonalds? Why? 
MMMM YUMMMMMY!
Mcdonalds just can't get it right. You would think that it would be impossible to make oatmeal unhealthy, right? Wrong.
4.5 g fat, 57 g carbohydrate, 32 g sugar
Ingredients: Whole grain rolled oats, brown sugar, food starch-modified, salt, natural flavor (plant source), barley malt extract, caramel color; Apples, calcium ascorbate; Dried sweetened cranberries (sugar, cranberries), California raisins, golden raisins, sunflower oil, sulfur dioxide (preservative); Milk, cream, sodium phosphate, datem, sodium stearoyl lactylate, sodium citrate, carrageenan.
Incredible. How can they do this? Why do they do this? Some of these ingredients are preservatives that stop enzymes from breaking things down. Unfortunately preservatives enter our digestive system and block the body's ability to break down food and absorb nutrients. Other ingredients attempt to improve the oatmeal's texture or how it looks. Mcdonalds also made sure to feed our sugar addiction with 32 grams to keep us coming back for more. What a travesty! Save your health, time and money. Make your own!
To make REAL oatmeal:
Rolled Oats
Pecans
Vanilla Stevia
Water
Frozen Blueberries
Total time needed: 5-10 minutes (less time than is needed to drive to Mcdonalds and wait in line!) |
