    I tend to put honey on mine if I want it sweet, and although honey has more calories than sugar for the same amount, I find I need less of it to get the same sweetness. Honey also has a lower Glycaemic Index. On the whole I like to have mine with banana or raspberries or blueberries, as this also helps me get one of my five portions of fruit/veg in early in the day!

    Several weeks ago I started to eat Rogers brand porridge, that has the oatbran, wheat bran & flax seeds
    & i add 1/4 frozen blackberries & 1/4 frozen blueberries and cook it.
    After it is cooked i add 1 tsp of splenda brown sugar & 1/3 cup of skim milk......

    It is a large bowl, sweet like dessert & 200 calories..... i am addicted to something healthy now!! :)

    you could try mixing it with applesauce and cinnamon...just cut back on other liquid a little if you use the applesauce!

    Hi from Wellington :smile:

    I like stewed apples (chunky applesauce) that I sweeten with Splenda, and add a little bit of cinnamon

    Or blueberries with some sweetener. That's quite yummy too
