Oats (a major ingredient in this recipe) contain beta-glucan, a type of soluble fiber, with cholesterol-lowering properties. When compared to refined grains, whole grains have been shown to lower cholesterol and support heart health. Fiber also supports a healthy gut microbiome and helps you feel fuller, longer.
The tofu adds a healthy source of plant-based protein and naturally contains isoflavones, which have been shown to lower total and LDL (“bad”) cholesterol.
