What do you put in your oatmeal?

BeeElMarvin

I put mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries) a little cinnamon, ground flax seeds and just a touch of stevia in mine. That's how I roll

Flax seed was going to be my suggestion, but you know that one already. Sometimes I put a little molasses in as well.

molasses sounds great!

I also avoid the instant stuff as I prefer to control the sweetening.

My standard is to add a tsp of stevia & a serving of toasted wheat germ.

Another good one is a serving of unsweetened apple sauce and a pinch of cinnamon.

handful of berries and some almond milk. I eat it raw, don't cook it.

I put a frozen berry blend in my oatmeal and some flax (if I have some ground). I usually eat my oatmeal at work so the berries have time to thaw during my commute.

I usually only eat oatmeal when we're camping. But these are great ideas!

I eat oatmeal every morning also. I don't do the instant, I start out cooking my oatmeal in almond milk instead of water, then I add flaxseed, cinnamon, a scoop of vanilla protein powder and a Tbsp of natural peanut butter.

That sounds good! Do you add all that while it's still cooking or once it's done?

I add everything except the peanut butter while it's still cooking. the pb I stir in at the end

Thanks! Gonna try it that way in the morning! : D

All very good suggestions. I like to mix it up a little.

My favorite things to add are:
honey
slivered almonds - gives a nice crunch
Visalus shake mix (vanilla protein powder)
blueberries
occasionally as a treat I'll add a little butter

I like to have oatmeal for lunch or even dinner. Very filling!

1/3 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
2/3 cup almond milk
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
splash of vanilla extract
sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice

3 minutes in the microwave in a deep bowl (to prevent oatmeal volcano)

I like mixing mine raw with frozen berries and a dash of splenda. By the time I get to work, the berries are thawed and the juices make the oatmeal soft. I top it off with a continer of Silouhette yogourt.
