This latest health trend kinda reminds me of when I was a kid and my mother had to hide the vegetables in my meals so I'd eat them.

And it seems this trend is here to stay. So far, veg like black beans have made their sly way into brownies and even sweet potato has been made into some sort of toast.

But now, it's the zucchini's turn to weasel its way into something.

Say hello to #Zoats, zucchini and oats all mixed together to make a delightful porridge. Sounds odd, yes, but it looks unreal.

Instagram's fittest stars have been all over the trend lately as you're not only getting a good dose of Vitamin C in this morning meal, but you're also making it double the size without adding many calories at all. Win, win.

Just look at these IGs for some inspo:

If you want loads of strangers to see your food, clothes, hairstyle or your #gymbod – well then, Instagram is pretty much your perfect platform.

But while the average user might throw up the odd snap of their Sunday brunch or the family pet, certain dedicated IG users have lately been showing off a lot more: namely their glorious 'breakfast and smoothie bowls'.

And these creations are most definitely NOT your average Weetabix-type affairs. 

Instead, they are totally OTT, entirely delicious feasts and treats – and ones that you'll crave no matter what time of day it is. 

Welcome to the online world's latest health phenomenon – and if  you fancy getting in on the action, then take a look at these Instagram accounts:

If you’ve been scoffing at the popularity of quinoa since its appearance as a superfood in recent years, you may be forced to eat your words…

A study by Harvard Public School of Health has found that just one bowl of the grain a day could decrease the risk of early death by 17%.

The author of the research, Dr Lu Qi praised whole grains such as quinoa for better health: “Our study indicates that intake of whole grains and cereal fibre may reduce the risk of all-cause mortality and death from chronic diseases such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes and respiratory disease.”

Oats were also found to be incredibly beneficial to health due to a fibre called beta-glucan which helps protect against heart disease as well as containing a compound that helps to prevent heart attacks by cutting down on the fat forming in arteries.

It looks like it’s time to stock up on these incredible grains! As if we needed another reason to eat porridge for breakfast.

Here are some great ways to swap your favourite sugary treats for some snacks, that are not only tasty but low in calories too! Yay!

Ice Cream – Frozen Yoghurt
Hard to resist, especially during the summer months, but we all know that those sweet ice-cream treats can really build up over time. So why not swap your favourite ice cream for a frozen yoghurt alternative. Most fro-yos are 0% fat, a third of the calories but still as refreshingly sweet as your favourite ice-cream treat.

Sugar – Fructose
No it’s not a chemical component, but actually a more natural and healthier alternative to sugar. Fructose is the natural sugar found in fruit (hence the name), it’s cheap, twice as sweet as sugar (so you only need half the amount), and is now available in most grocery stores! So what’s not to love?

Vanilla Latte – Cappuccino
You don’t have to stay away from coffee to cut sugar from your diet, but just swap your favourite drinks for healthier ones instead. Cappuccinos are surprisingly lower in calories especially if you opt for the sugar-free options. If you want to go all out, swap the dairy for some soya milk instead.

Digestive Biscuits – Hobnobs
You don’t have to stay away from your biscuit treats, but just swap it for something else instead. Oats are usually the best when it comes to biscuit treats, and hobnobs are no exception. Just make sure not to do overdo it on the packet at the same time.
