That said, according to Buettner, an ideal morning meal doesn\u2019t have to be overly fussy or complicated by any means.

And much to our relief, it\u2019s way simpler than we anticipated. Indeed, the longevity expert keeps things nice and easy with a big bowl of good ol\u2019 oatmeal.

Aside from tasting great, Buettner explains that oatmeal covers the main pillars essential for a healthy breakfast, such as it\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/foods-high-in-soluble-fiber\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/foods-high-in-soluble-fiber\/\">high in soluble fiber<\/a> (which helps with digestion), high in protein, and packed with loads of vitamins.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/CtM9dqEJBbw\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\"><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"related-content \" style=\"\" data-module-init=\"related-content\" data-module-immediate=\"\" v-cloak=\"\">\n<div class=\"related-content__wrapper \" v-cloak=\"\" :class=\"{'is-loaded':isLoaded}\">\n<p> <span class=\"inline pr-6 text-seafoam-dark\">Related Stories<\/span> <\/p>\n<p> <related-content class=\"related-content__links\" parent-article-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/longevity-breakfast-expert\/\" current-title=\"\u2018I\u2019m a World Leader in Longevity Research\u2014This Is the Easy Breakfast I Eat Every Morning for Healthy Aging\u2019\" current-image=\"Stocksy_txp11d5440eeCk300_Small_2882734-425x285.jpg\" v-on:parsely-posts-loaded=\"onPostsLoaded\" start-date=\"2023-01-10\" tag=\"div\" inline-template=\"\" url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/longevity-breakfast-expert\/\" secret=\"w5ztterVB03LGZJLfXS0hf3EvQBuFFIWew9hmVQxthU\" apikey=\"wellandgood.com\" limit=\"3\"> <\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"related-content__card mb-[10px] sm:mb-[20px]\" :class=\"{'related-content__card--full':posts.length === 1}\" v-for=\"(post, key) in posts\"> <a v-on:click.prevent=\"trackLinkGA($event, key)\" :href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/longevity-breakfast-expert\/post.url\" data-url-source=\"related-content\" class=\"related-content__link\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content__card--image bg-tan\" :style=\"{ backgroundImage: 'url(' + post.image_url + ')' }\"> <img :src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/longevity-breakfast-expert\/post.image_url\" :alt=\"post.title\"\/> <\/div>\n<p> <\/a>  <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <\/related-content> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>But let\u2019s be honest: A bowl of plain porridge isn\u2019t very enticing for most folks, including Buettner himself. As such, the longevity expert likes to dress up his morning meal with a few high-quality ingredients that pack a one-two punch: nutrients and flavor. Nothing fussy needed: Buettner&#8217;s recipe for success involves just five pantry staples. \u201cI take slow-cooked oats, with some almonds and dates, put some soy milk on it, and maybe a little bit of maple syrup. It\u2019s perfect Blue Zone breakfast,\u201d Buettner says.

But why? According to the USDA, steel-cut oats are packed with <a href=\"https:\/\/fdc.nal.usda.gov\/fdc-app.html#\/food-details\/721924\/nutrients\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/fdc.nal.usda.gov\/fdc-app.html#\/food-details\/721924\/nutrients\">12.5 grams of protein, 10 grams of fiber, and 350 milligrams of potassium<\/a> per 100-gram serving. And although steel-cut, quick, and rolled oats don\u2019t vary too drastically in terms of nutrition (generally speaking), steel-cut oats have a few extra benefits in store.<\/p>\n<p>For example, steel-cut oats are the least processed of the three options, which makes them higher in beta-glucan (a type of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/beta-glucan-benefits\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/beta-glucan-benefits\/\">soluble fiber that&#8217;s great for heart and gut health<\/a>), and gives them a delicious coarse, chewy texture. That said, it\u2019s important to point out that steel-cut oats take longer to cook than quick oats. Steel-cut can take anywhere from 30 to 40 minutes to soften and absorb the cooking liquid, while quick oats can take just a few minutes to get the job done. Ultimately, the choice is yours.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>If sweet breakfasts aren\u2019t your jam, o<\/strong><strong>pt for savory oatmeal\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Of course, there tends to be the longstanding debate of sweet versus savory breakfasts and which one is the fan favorite.
