FAQ:
Can I use instant oats instead of rolled oats? Yes, but rolled oats are preferred for their texture and nutrient density. Instant oats will work, though they may create a smoother drink.
Is this drink suitable for people with diabetes? Yes, guava is known for its ability to regulate blood sugar levels, and oats provide a slow-release form of energy. However, it’s always a good idea to consult a healthcare professional before making it part of your regular diet.
