Luis Manzano and Solenn Heussaff whip up fiber-rich dishes at the Quaker Kitchen Cook-Off
It’s been said that what you eat not only reflects how you look but also how you feel. One way of boosting the health benefits of your diet is found in the magic of fiber which is commonly found in fruits, veggies, cereal grains, oats, and beans.
However, a study has shown Filipinos consume less than 50% of the daily fiber requirement which means your current diet might not be enough as you think.
According to the Philippine Society of Nutritionist Dietitians, Inc. (PSND), a study conducted on working Filipino adults shows only almost 8 grams of fiber was reported to be consumed per day on average. “This is very far from the recommended nutrient intake (RNI) of 20 to 25 grams,” shares PSND registered nutritionist dietitian Jake Brandon Andal.
This low intake of fiber means Filipinos are missing out on an important nutrient that helps in aiding digestion, preventing constipation, and maintaining good digestive health. It also helps manage weight and reduces the risk of acquiring heart disease.
Through the years, Quaker Oats, the number 1 oats brand has introduced many fiber-rich products to help Filipinos have a more balanced diet. Oats have been proven to have 7x more fiber per 100g serving versus long-grain white rice which helps fulfill the recommended consumption of fiber our body needs every day.
Quaker Oats is again introducing new and innovative recipes to encourage Filipinos to make fiber a daily staple in their diet using oats for breakfast, lunch, and even snacks and desserts.
Quaker Oats recently hosted The Quaker Kitchen Cook Off featuring brand ambassadors Luis Manzano and Solenn Heussaff. The event, broadcasted via Quaker Philippines’s Facebook page, had Luis and Solenn, both health buffs, sharing with the viewers their go-to fruity and delicious desserts such as Rainbow Superfloat, Caramelized Bananas No-Bake Cheesecake, and Homemade Sorbetes using Quaker Oats.
“I love Quaker Oats and it has been a kitchen staple in the Manzano household since I was young. My favorite recipe to make is Overnight oats because it’s quick and easy but I’ve recently been leveling up my culinary skills! So now, the Rainbow Superfloat is my new favorite. It’s a great option if you feel like having a more fruity and colorful breakfast or dessert that is healthy, light, and refreshing,” shared Luis.
“It’s very interesting how many healthy dishes you can make with oats as the main ingredient,” says Solenn. “Though there are other sources of fiber, Quaker Oats is my go-to because it has 7x more fiber and it is highly versatile. You can use it in every meal both for savory and sweet dishes like homemade sorbetes, no-bake cheesecakes, and more!“
