    I actually throw about 1/4 cup of a fruit/nut mix in mine. Adds crunch :)

    I make up a box of oatmeal's worth at a time into ziplock bags. Then I just add boiling water, microwave for a minute, and let set for a couple of minutes. My version of antioxidant rich instant oatmeal.

    I add so many things to mine but lately my favorite is a bit of vanilla, a tsp of peanut butter and a handful of dried cherries. Tastes like a sundae!

    I have oatmeal everyday and never get bored with ~~

    Tbs of Whey Protein powder - vanilla- adds a little protein along with slight vanilla flavor
    tsp of flax seeds
    Tbs of Unsweetened Almond Milk
    1/4 cup of blueberries

    If you have a Costco nearby - they sell 3lb bags of Organic Maine Blueberries for $11. They are the best - and so good for you.

    Raisins - cook them with the oatmeal so that they plump up. Bananas, strawberries or blueberries are good too. Try maple syrup instead of brown sugar for a different kick.

    I mix a serving of oats with 1/4 cup milk and 1/4 cup pumpkin puree from a can, sweetener and vanilla and spices, top with currants/raisins/craisins, and let it sit in the fridge overnight and then eat it cold. Yum!

    i like chopped apple, walnuts and cinnamon

    This^^^ and switching to steel cut oats. Steel cut oats are WAY better than regular oatmeal and they are higher in protein--but you do have to cook them a bit longer. I soak mine overnight (to get rid of some of the phytic acid and then I simmer them for about an hour. They are fully cooked in a half-hour but the extra cooking time breaks down the plant lectins better (phytic acid and lectins are not terribly bad for you but dissipating some of them is good). I put a couple (or three) of "sunny side up" eggs on top and then put a dollop of butter. The butter and runny egg yolks run into the oats and it is amazing tasting. Most people say "yuck" when I describe it but when they try it, they get hooked on eating their oats this way. Some folks like them with butter and a dash of maple syrup too.

    AND eating pumpkin puree (or, indeed any fruit/vegetable that contains carotenoids, carrots, winter squashes, sweet potatoes, tangerines and cantaloupe) can lower levels of inflammatory compounds by 25%!
