What is known as a good breakfast? I've been eating either whole wheat toast or instant oatmeal....just read that instant oatmeal is not the best...but I dont have time to make the non-instant..

What are you eating?

    I use the steel cut and cook it Sunday night, then portion it for the whole week. It works amazing and takes 30 seconds to throw berries on top and microwave. I use this kind because it doesn't get nasty, pasty like the others and is supposed to be better for you.

    Just a dumb question but what is the difference between instant and non instant oatmeal?


    Edit to add: I'm assuming instant is the pre packaged ones right? And why don't you have time to make the non instant oatmeal, they sell the oats that cook in a couple of minutes...

    1.5 cups of oatmeal, with 1 cup of berries...........talk about good

    esp when I found out how healthy oatmeal is on lowering blood pressure, helps fight off cancers, and really lowers cholesterol.......really good stuff
    I used the old fashiioned rolled oats, not the instant.........supposed to be healthier...............Lloyd

    Someone posted on one of the boards here of a great and easy breakfast...
    1/2 cup egg whites in a mug, throw in a few pieces of onion, spinach or cheddar. Microwave for 1.5 minutes and put on wheat or multigrain english muffin. Delicious!!! :happy: My whole family loves it!!
    I switch up by eating yogurt, apples & pb, cereal, scone, etc.

    Actually it doesn't take that much effort to make non-instant oatmeal.

    I bought a HUGE container of oats, basically what I do is I measure out my oatmeal the night before, add craisens or pack a banana. WHen I'm ready for my oats, I heat it in the microwave and top it with splenda, and banana (or I cook the craisens with my oats, YUM).

    I think it takes about 2 min in the microwave to make my oatmeal, takes a bit longer here at work.

    Or you can make a bunch the nite before and just heat up what you want in the microwave (i've done that before and it works just fine). :)

    That's why I was confused! I also buy a container of oats and just add 1/2 water and 1/2 skim milk, stick it in the microwave and it's done in like 2 minutes

    I forgot to add to my above post.....

    While it's cooking in the microwave for the 2 minutes, I mash up a bannana, and when the oatmeal is done I add it in there.

    Literally takes me 2 minutes to make this.

    Peanut butter is my go-to breakfast food. The good kind, with whole-wheat grainy bread.

    Youre right Kacee, the original quaker oats, the one in that big round red container is the one I buy ,and it takes maybe 3 mins to make it......its really easy, and for me, lol, it reminds me of what I used to eat when I was a kid........kind of a comfort food, but a good comfort food........

    medical professionals are really pushing oats , esp for the lowering of cholesterol and blood pressure..........Lloyd

    I have been eating an omelette...1/2 cup of egg whites, 5 spears of asparagus (or other fresh veggie), and 2 oz of white turkey lunch meat. I just cook the turkey and veggie for a couple of minutes, add the egg whites and eat with 1 slice of whole wheat high fiber toast. It is pretty good. Sometimes I top it with some reduced fat cheese. :)
