Oatmeal Ideas

DaniJeanine

Have you tried the Hungry Girl recipes for oatmeal there's a ton of them. I had the Choco-Monket recipe and it's great. So good that my 6 yr old wants it for breakfast all the time! There's about 185 calories in it and 5 grams of fiber! She makes it with low cal hot chocolate mix, half a banana and a splenda packet. I normally leave that out because it's already wicked sweet without it!

Sounds really tasty, but my problem with HG is this: I feel she stresses a lot of artificial foods and sweeteners. I try to eat as "chemical free" (for lack of a better term lol) as possible. That's not saying I don't use the occasional tbsp on sugar free maple syrup, but I feel like her a lot of her recipes are based on fat free, sugar free, splenda, etc. If I were to make this oatmeal, I think I'd use real chocolate chips and a tsp of honey or brown sugar :-)

I eat oatmeal at least 5 times a week. I put 1 cup water, 1/2 cup oats, cinnamon and a little vanilla in a bowl and microwave for 2 minutes. After it is cooked I add 4 ounces unsweetened applesauce, 1 tsp of Steevia, 1 TB of sliced almonds and 1/4 cup non fat milk. Delicious and healthy!

I usually add in some fresh fruit and some honey. I've done nut butters before as well and that is pretty good too!

I make my own applesauce, I like it with extra cinnamon... I love oat bran 1/3 cup to 1 cup water, cinnamon, and steevia, microwave for 2 minutes. I add about a 1/4 cup of my applesause to it and some almond milk... yumm!
