This Oatmeal Topping Can Help You Reach Your Body Goals

September 13, 2015 2 min read

Researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health have found that a healthy dose of lignans can help your waistline remain trim. What the heck are lignans? It is a compound found in plants that can have a really positive impact on your body. Some lignans may boost your cardiovascular health, guard your body from hazardous free radicals, and even shield against breast cancer. They can be found in a number of high fibre plant foods like flaxseed, sesame seed, legumes and whole grains. This latest study found that females who ate foods rich in lignans, gained less weight than women not eating lignans. The study looked at 1,000 women over a 10-year timeframe. So adding a spoonful of flax to your breakfast oatmeal is the easiest way to get your lignans but if you're looking for something fancier, you're in luck! Try this recipe from, Ali Waks-Adams, a freelance chef and kitchen coach based in Maine:

Toaster Oven Breakfast Granola: Two Ways

yield: 4-6 servings

1 egg white
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup flaxseed
1/2 tsp sea salt
2 tbsp melted coconut oil
2 tbsp maple syrup or honey

1. Whip egg white until froth and add all other ingredients. Mix well and toast in toaster oven on medium heat (or oven at 350º F) for 12 to 15 minutes until crunchy. Add unsweetened, dried fruit if you’d like (we’re a big fan of cherries). Want to make it savory? Remove sea salt and replace maple syrup with one tablespoon tamari or soy sauce and one tablespoon raw honey. Add 1/4 cup grated Parmesan (or vegan equivalent), a teaspoon of sesame seeds and a dash of cayenne pepper for heat. You can serve both versions as a topping for oatmeal or yogurt. The savory version pairs particularly well with unsweetened, plain Greek yogurt, chopped cucumber, and whatever fresh herbs you have on hand like parsley, mint, dill or basil. Delish! Are you a regular consumer of flaxseed? Tell us the creative ways you add lignan rich foods to your diet? Source: SELF

Shipping & Delivery

Due to COVID-19, shipping systems the world over are experiencing abnormal delays. There is an enormous demand on postal and delivery services as online shopping has skyrocketed, due to store closures and stay-at-home mandates. This is an unprecedented situation, and we are working around the clock to fulfill your orders as quickly as possible. To be clear, we are filling orders in 4-6 days, and we are shipping immediately after that. Once shipped, our shipping partner, UPS, will get your order out to you as quickly as possible. Thanks for your support and understanding.

Are you in Canada? Specifically, are you outside of a metropolitan centre? We need to alert you to a disruption in shipping due to COVID-19. Our preferred shipping provider, UPS, has informed us that they cannot guarantee express shipping for many locations. We have also seen that packages delivered to Toronto, Ottawa, Vancouver, etc, are not waylaid, but packages delivered to areas just outside of these cities are being held in transit for days or even weeks. UPS has discontinued their guarantee of 1-4 day delivery, which you can read more about here. Therefore, we can guarantee early fulfillment but not early delivery of our goods from our warehouse to your door at this time.

We want you to start your fitness journey with us as quickly as possible, that’s why we send every package to the USA & Canada via expedited or standard shipping (whichever is faster) with our partners at UPS. Once your order has been processed successfully we try to have your shipment prepared within 4-6 business days, and it typically takes 2-4 days to get to you once it leaves our warehouse.

We currently DO NOT SHIP to locations outside of the US and Canada. We DO NOT ship to a P.O. Box number.

We ship all of our physical products with UPS, from our warehouse location in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. Sometimes delivery can be delayed by circumstances out of our control, like postal & custom delays, back-ordered products or incorrectly entered shipping addresses. If there is a delay at Customs, a representative of UPS may contact you to provide your identification in order to receive your package. Please do this ASAP: Customers will be responsible for any additional shipping fees for failure to provide the required information to release a shipment.

Make sure when checking out and paying for your order that all of your information entered is correct! If you notice a mistake in your address, please try to contact us before your order is processed for shipping to avoid any missed shipments or delays. As soon as we process your order for shipping, you will receive a shipping confirmation email that contains your UPS tracking number. You can head on over to the UPS Website to see where your products are. Note: tracking information may take 1-2 business days to be updated in the UPS system

If you are not home when your package is delivered, BodyRock is NOT responsible if it is stolen. Please contact us if this happens to you and we will provide you with all the information needed to take the next steps.
