oatmeal... bleh

theresnoeggs

I used to feel the same way!

I always use milk, recently switched out whole for 2% or almond milk.

Vanilla almond milk, banana, and a tablespoon or powdered sugar is AMAZING!

Frozen fruits: I mix them in w/ the uncooked oats and milk: microwave according to direction

a bit of syrup

PB and honey-I use crunchy PB-just don't use too much.

granola and yogurt bites

any flavor yogurt

cinn & brown sugar

Totally not for trying to watch cals but: 1 tbsp creamy PB, 1 tbsp fluff (while it's super hot), and a drizzle of chocolate syrup. YUM!


And if you really can't do the taste, stick it in a blender or food processor until a powder consistency, make yourself a fruit smoothie and add it in (this is especially good for lactating women, helped my increase my supply 10-fold!

Can't help you. Oatmeal is totally nasty to me. Raised on grits and won't touch oatmeal no matter how healthy they say it is.

UK here, just curious, what is "grits"

Check for other types of oatmeal or hot cereal out there. Living in the Northwest US, we have Bob's Red Mill. Can be ordered online. They have different grains. One is apple cinnamon. It is wonderful and healthy. Also, muesli is good. I eat it warm or cold. Usually in my yoghurt.

When I have plain rolled oats, I like old fashioned on the stove. Even the microwave takes away some of the nutty flavor. Once water is boiling, add oats, turn down to low and walk away for 10 minutes.

In the summer, I put a peach in it the last 5 minutes. Now, I cook an apple with it the whole time and add a bit of cinnamon to flavor. Also use blueberries, banana, dried cranberries. Just measure everything to see how much I am eating.

ok, today I tried oatmeal with cinnamon, brown sugar & bananas. Still not feeling it. It made it a lot better, but Ill have to try some of these other ideas. I didnt use milk, I used water... not a big milk fan but will have to try it

I use steel cut oats. The texture is a lot different, and just tastes better, I think. I also add honey, raisins and walnuts. While it's cooking, I sprinkle a bit of cinnamon on it too. It's really good!!

hmm, I didnt look at the different oats when I bought this... it says old fashioned oats, 100% natural & whole grain

Try adding some slices of banana or raisins into it, maybe an apple and some protein powder.

Be careful of the amount of fruit though. Especially raisins(very high in sugar.)

UK here, just curious, what is "grits"

It's a cooked cereal like food that is served mostly in the Southern US. It was originally a Native American food made from broken parts of corn or hominy. Usually, it has the consistency of Cream of Wheat. Do you have Cream of Wheat in the UK to know what I'm comparing it to? Being that I'm in South Georgia, it's a common breakfast staple here, generally served with eggs, toast, and sausage or bacon. Some people salt it and eat it, others prefer plain. Personally, I like it with butter and sugar like I was taught to eat all hot cereals growing up. LOL

Had old fashioned oats with 1/2 as much pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice this morning. Never tried it before, and I really liked it. Will have again.

I love adding some mashed up banana and chopped walnuts. Sort of like eating a banana walnut muffin...soo delicious! Sometimes I add a bit of cinnamon to this, too.
