Who eats oatmeal for breakfast, & what all do u put in it?

bizco

I eat it every day for breakfast. I usually add fresh or frozen blueberries & cinammon, or apples & cinammon. For good fats I'll add chopped almonds or ground flaxseed. Occasionally I'll add unsweetened coconut and cocoa.

I eat oatmeal for breakfast every single day! I add raisins, cranberries, peanutbutter, walnuts, and this weekend I even added a tablespoon of chocolate chips...it was yummy! the raisins and chocolate made my oatmeal taste like a oatmeal raisin cookie!!

ps I don't add all those things at the same time or it would make it better to eat a egg and bacon breakfast :laugh:

Veganniee

I eat it everyday. I usually just make it with water and slice a banana into it once it's ready.

dargytaylor

my favorite right now is adding peanut butter........YUM!!

adidrea

I add apples, brown sugar and cinnamon. Some days I substitute a banana for the apple, or raisins.

I eat maple & brown sugar flavored oatmeal and i put in 1 tbsp or less of maple syrup and a whole banana sliced up. I like quaker high fiber and I also like the brand oat fit but it's hard to find.

Every day. I eat a lot of it. 2 servings or about 300 calories. I add one of blueberries, strawberries, or a banana to it in addition to walnuts and almonds or pecans. Oh, the most important ingredient is brown sugar. I try to eat a large share of my daily calorie intake early and this fits the bill.

I also eat it just about every day with a tablespoon of honey, 3 tablespoons of wheat bran flakes and cinnamon

hottottie11

I do!! I have 1.5 or 2 servings of oatmeal with whey protein (which I call proatmeal: the breakfast of champs) and add pb and bananas. I it!

girlone

I eat it almost every day, I add cinnamon while its cooking and when done I add fruit and sometimes splenda, because its pretty bland sometimes. I buy the packaged frozen fruit so I always have an assortment to choose from.

Tkhk0514

today I ate it plain. Yesterday I added almonds and cranberries. The day before I added a bit of syrup. I have also added brown sugar and pecans.

I love oatmeal and just recently switched to the steal cut oats. Just read that they are better for you but they do take quite a bit longer to cook.

A Packet of Stevia and some Kettlecorn popcorn seasoning (my latest find).

Every day! I put raisins and cranberries in mine. Sometimes I'll add chopped walnuts. Pour 1/4 C of milk over it once it's ready, sprinkle a little Splenda on it and yumm-o!

littleali

I make porridge? Does that count? 40g of oats, 150ml of skim milk, and to serve with a handful of raisins, 1 tsp brown sugar and 1/2 tsp of cinnamon!

rrrbecca11

I just had almond joy oatmeal. Steel cut oats, Silk almond milk, carob chips, shredded coconut and raw almonds. Nom nom nom. And made chocolate peanut oatmeal for my son. Just the carob chips and peanut butter added in with the oats and milk. So many delicious ways.

Old fashioned oatmeal + coconut milk + walnuts + flax + protein powder. Super filling.

krizstyling

In the winter, I eat oatmeal EVERY DAY! I try to watch it so I don't get the kinds with aspartame in it so recently I started getting Oat Fit from Target, the maple and brown sugar kind. No added sugar and only 100 calories anddd it has flax in it! (gets ya regular! LOL) I just put in skim milk and nuke it in the microwave for a minute and I'm good to go.

It's convenient too that's why I love it! I bring in bowls and spoons to work, and can just eat it here at my desk...eating it right now in fact.

i eat oatmeal almost everyday for breakfast (have had for supper too when nothing else sounds good).
i was adding honey, cinnamon and craisins......BUT was putting me over on my sugar everyday with other things i was eating, so i've changed it up a bit.
now, cinnamon, 1 packet of stevia (in place of honey) and craisins. yummy!
i've also added banana and some chopped pecans which is delicious too!
so many things you can add to it. Blueberries are super yummy in it too! and i have been adding ground flax seed to it also....

heathersmilez

1 tbsp PB + ½ scoop of chocolate protein power is delicious! I brought this to work a few times, added boiling water here and it made my area of the office smell like warm PB and chocolate, people were jealous of my oatmeal, ha ha!

My fav breakfast however is All Bran so I've put oatmeal on the backburner b/c having both was just way too many carbs in the day.
