What to add to oatmeal that is quick & 100 calories

LastingChanges

I loved adding bananas to my oatmeal because it's quick, you just peel and throw it into oatmeal, no cutting required and it is filling.
But I've realized bananas give me horrible heartburn. (Strange I know)
What is a good replacement? Something easy to throw in?

Yummy but too many calories vs quantity.
1 banana=100 calories but it is large, 1 tablespoon of peanut butter is so little quantity but has about 100 calories.
Ugh wish i could continue eating bananas

Any frozen fruit (I like blueberries). Protein powder or PB2 (or the real thing if you've got the calories). Chopped nuts, craisins, and cinnamon.

I portion my add-ins into zip-lock snack bags, that way I just dump together in the a.m.

If you can't do the calories of regular peanut butter, PB2 is good too. I love oatmeal. Brown sugar is a go-to for me, maybe some chopped pecans, raisins, blueberries, yogurt... The list goes on!

Great ideas but unfortunately i don't like the taste/texture of frozen fruits that have been warmed. Nuts don't feel as filling and 100 calories of nuts/ peanut butter is very little quantity compared to banana

Oooh! Canned pumpkin. I could mix it together with all the spices and freeze portions for daily breakfasts. Time to experiment.....

One scoop of protein powder
Seconded on nut butter
Done canned pumpkin too!

Chia seeds! I love the crunch

I use walnuts, raisins, dried cranberries, and fruit spreads (natural low sugar jams).

For variety you can also make baked oatmeal. That is good too. You can make it once at the beginning of the week and just heat up a serving in the microwave each day. Lots of recipes online. Be careful with the ingredients you add though.

If you care about volume of food, ya, choose a few lower cal things to add up. But if you want protein and fat to keep you fuller longer, choose the PB or some nuts.

I mash thawed strawberries into oatmeal so there's not much texture to them.

I usually put raspberries or blueberries in my oatmeal. You'd need a lot for 100 calories, though. I wouldn't use frozen.

I also like including a serving of protein powder, which is 90 calories.

Perhaps it's best answered by asking you a question:

What do you LIKE in your oatmeal?

Measure out 100 calories worth of that and enjoy!

peanut butter, duh!!! e'ry day!

ldrosophila

butter or some half and half

I dice up apple and put in mine, with lots of cinnamon. It's delicious and gives it a little crunch.

I love adding a teaspoon of cocoa powder and a sprinkle of sugar. It feels like I'm indulging cause it taste so chocolaty with hardly any added calories.

in the fall i love pumpkin pie oatmeal (pumpkin pie spices+ pumpkin) and cinnamon apple (i microwave a bunch of diced apple so it's really soft then throw it in w/ the oatmeal in the morning). gives you lots of bulk to fill you up.
