Difference between instant oats and rolled oats?

Instant oats is highly thin and processed a lot and it takes just few minutes to cook quickly. It can be microwaved or cook quickly in a minute for a quick oats meal or using them to make various smoothies is highly recommended.

On the other hand, rolled oats are thick and take around 5-6 minutes to cook and are less processed compared to instant oats.

Instant oats are used to make quick recipes and if one is in a hurry these oats are a great option whereas rolled oats work great when they are soaked overnight or used when one has plenty of time to cook.

They just take a little longer to cook which is about five minutes to six. Rolled oats are perfect to make overnight oats recipes which can make some finest healthy oats recipes in minutes.

Both types of oats are healthy and give good flavours but the only difference to both the oats is their shape and size as well as their cooking time and usage.

Any kind of oats are rich in fibre and one should definitely try to include these cereals regularly in their diet.

Healthy overnight oats recipe for weight loss

Ingredients

Instant oats: For this particular recipe, I am making use of instant oats as this is the perfect choice as the smooth can be blended finely using these oats without taking much time.

These are thinner oats and are easily available in markets and stores for simple and quick breakfast recipes to blend, cook or to microwave.

Low-fat milk: Since I am making this recipe mainly as breakfast as well as making it for a weight loss diet I am using low-fat milk. If trying to make it without keeping weight loss in mind then one can use whole milk.

It is always good to add healthy ingredients for oats recipes as they benefit in the long run. For more healthy options one can even add almond milk which works amazingly well for weight loss issues.

Apples: I am making apple oats smoothie here by peeling the apples, chopping them into small pieces. One can also make use of other fruits such as banana, strawberries, berries and many more various fruits and make as banana oat smoothie or other smoothies of one's choice using the same recipe.

Dates: I am using slightly sweeter dates and adding them by deseeding. Oats taste sweet and delicious with dates. Always try to use fresh dates and not dry dates to blend the smoothie easily.

I am not using any sweetener in the recipe as dates give the required sweetness without the need of adding unhealthy sugar.

If some more sweet flavor is required then do add honey which is also a healthy ingredient as well as good for losing weight.

Cinnamon: This spice gives a strong flavor and add it only if one is aiming to lose weight else this ingredient can be skipped while making this oats smooothie for breakfast.

Cinnamon aids in losing weight but it has a very strong smell and flavor. Adding just a pinch to the smoothie is more than enough and if one loves the flavor add a little bit more.
