    I love oatmeal...usually eat it without sugar...with PB, or PB and apples, or apples and raisins, or cinnamon, or sometimes a little sugar free syrup if I want a little something sweet.

    My kids and I LOVE steel cut oats in the crock pot, they add raisens, craisens and brown sugar, I like peanut butter anda little brown sugar and cinnamon. It's great to wake up to breakfast being ready and the leftovers heat up very nice the next day.

    I just don't have time for regular oatmeal. So I use the flavored instant oatmeal, Quaker's Banana Bread, Cinnamon, and Maple Brown Sugar are my favorites. I also use milk instead of water, it is so much better that way to me!

    I also hated oatmeal until about 3 months ago. Now I just know I have to eat it on days I will be going out for dinner in order to keep my morning calories low (170 instead of 300). I add a little more milk than it suggests because I don't like it to be too thick. Lots of trial and error until I found what I like!

    Regular oatmeal takes exactly 1 minute in the microwave. The instant packets have tons of sodium and added sugar.

    Quaker old fashioned oats. I cook them in half milk and half water and add a little brown sugar to the milk/water mixture while it is cooking. A swirl of sugar free maple syrup on the top and some pecans or walnuts.

    I'll have to try it with pb...

    Where do you buy steel cut oats? They aren't in the cereal section in my supermarkets here.

    I like both Quaker & Stop & Shop have a maple & brown sugar with extra fiber. It keeps me full until lunch.

    I eat oatmeal at work, I like the instant oatmeal with the raisins and dates in it. It is really good and it does help keep you full longer, another thing I like to eat for breakfast is the Kashi Go Lean Granola cereal mixed with vanilla fit and light yogurt and I put blue berries in it, that is really good and it keeps you feeling full for a while also.

    Quaker 1 Minute. Cook a big pot, have for breakfast and late night snack. Breakfast, with berries, yogurt, flax seed, and cinnamon. Nighttime, with honey, dried plums, flax seed, cocoa powder, and a little spritz of whipped cream. Honey is supposed to help with sleep. Beats a bowl of ice cream...really.

    I use either generic or quaker instant. I add honey to sweeten it and add almonds, walnuts or pecans for the "crunch".

    try adding simple rolled oats - around 30g to a smoothie after blending - it fills you up for the morning, alternatively if you dont like the grains in a smoothie add it while blending and it will get chopped up and still seems to take you through

    I blend mine to a powder most mornings - add milk - go and work out for 10mins on my cross trainer then add the fruit and whizz the lot - its like a post workout treat, breakfast and health at the same time

    I seem to alternate between a poached egg on toast with veggies or McManns' steal cut rolled oats. Made per package with water and then I almost always add a cup of frozen fruit until warm and chopped nuts. Makes a big bowel and keeps me for a few hours just fine.
