Kate Middleton, known for her healthy lifestyle, loves to start her day with oats, often hailed as the “ultimate superfood.” Oats are known for their cholesterol-lowering and blood sugar-regulating properties, and research suggests they may also relieve post-workout muscle soreness.
Diet expert Michael Mosley concocted a special overnight oatmeal recipe, which he said was a great fiber-rich breakfast option. Her recipe includes apples, frozen berries, oats, almonds, apricots, yogurt and enough milk to achieve a soft, creamy texture, left in the refrigerator overnight.
An expert from Bulk.com explained: “They are packed with vitamins, minerals and soluble fiber, which is particularly good for people with diabetes, as they can help reduce glucose and cholesterol levels,” adding that the Oats “are the perfect multi-purpose product as they are also gluten-free and can be eaten sweet or savory.” For the latest health and Covid news, sign up to our newsletter here

A BarBend nutritionist suggested that this breakfast choice would “keep Kate full and with enough fuel to attend royal events, exercise and run around after her three children.” They added that oatmeal, or porridge, was not only “a delicious breakfast food, but also very nutritious”, and that it promoted weight loss.
The Princess of Wales apparently starts her day with a generous helping of oatmeal. Taking inspiration from this solid breakfast routine, Andrea Blazquez, a reporter for our sister publication the Express, put it to the test by eating oats every morning for an entire week, aiming to observe any notable changes.
In just under a week, she surprisingly lost almost 300g (nearly a pound), attributing this weight loss to the satiating quality of oats, which helped limit unnecessary snacking throughout of the day.
She enthused: “The healthy and delicious breakfast was so filling that I wasn’t so hungry at lunchtime, which encouraged me to opt for a healthier option, like a salad. Eating a varied breakfast, combining oatmeal with seeds, nuts and fruits, also motivated me to make other healthy choices during the day and eat a balanced and moderate diet.
Meanwhile, the esteemed Dr. Mosley vouches for overnight oats as a far superior alternative to carb-heavy breakfast options like toast. He explained: “One of the main reasons to opt for a low-carb breakfast is that you won’t be hungry mid-morning and tempted to eat a pastry.”
