The healthy desserts have a very particular characteristic and that is that they have the real flavor of the food (ingredients); since they do not carry artificial products; And something very important does not give us anxiety because the sugar load is very low.

Well, meeting this week's challenge, I wanted to bring you an easy but very delicious recipe, with ingredients that we may have in the house. Economical and that is very beneficial for our health. It's about a:

Healthy oatmeal pudding.

This healthy dessert is perfect for a breakfast or a snack; It is juicy, but compact on the outside, much like a custard. I can assure you how delicious I am.

The habitual consumption of oats helps to reduce the levels of cholesterol and blood sugar. In addition, thanks to its phytochemicals, it protects us against cancer.
