    My usual way is with natural peanut butter or PB2, and sometimes cocoa powder, and tons of whey powder (proatmeal). Last night I dumped in a serving of sugar-free chocolate pudding made with unsweetened almond milk and it was the BOMB. Oatmeal is awesome.

    I chop a small apple up, cook it in almond milk and cinnamon, then I add the oats and cook a little longer. :) So good

    Love my oats! Race Horses like it too!

    I usually mix in a scoop of whey powder and some mashed banana. Yum!

    Steel cut irish oats cooked and saturated in silk, chilled overnight. Reheated and mixed with Dark Choc chips, walnuts, cinnamon, various berries / jams. Not all at the same time though =P

    I cook my weeks worth of oatmeal every Sunday and just pop a serving in the micro every morning.

    I use Steel Cut oats and instead of water I use low calorie fruit juices --flavors depend on the fruit I will be using... I add cinnamon, ground flax seed and chopped nuts.

    some favorites--Strawberry banana use VFusiion lite Strawberry banana juice
    --Blueberry use Vfusion lite blueberry juice
    --crushed pineapple and coconut--"Pina colada" and use a pina colada juice or just pineapple.
    --Chopped Apple, raisen and craisen--Lite Apple Juice

    These are delish!! :tongue:

    I am that one rare person who LOVES oatmeal plain...nothing added. But when I feel like adding something it's usually raisins or bananas.
    Some things others I know add:
    Protein powder
    Peanut Butter
    Syrup (to me that sounds disgusting bc I don't really like sweet things)
    Frozen fruit
    Nuts

    I even have a friend who likes sausage and brocolli in the oatmeal.....but that's a little extreme.

    I am another one that loves plain oatmeal. All the topics people use turn it into a not so healthy high calorie meal.

    Try something different. Someone one on MFP suggested a couple of strips of bacon with plain oatmeal. It didn't sound good to me but I tried it. I love it. I use low sodium bacon and I liike it so much that I had it for dinner one evening this week. Try it.

    Lately I've been obsessed (yes obsessed lol) with steel cut oats, flavoured with cinnamon and fresh, chopped apple. I really don't miss the sugar (the apple is sweet enough) and it is heavenly. I chop up my apple and add it just before the oatmeal is ready to take off the stove... but I like my apple to still have a little crunch. The earlier you add the apple, the softer it gets. The first time I did it, I ended up with apple sauce in my oatmeal lol!

    I sweeten with stevia. Sometimes I add cinnamon, vanilla extract, or coconut.
