Oatmeal question

For one packet of instant oatmeal I do 3/4 cup almond milk and a tea spoon of vanilla extract, and a squirt of honey all mixed together!

I like to put in blueberries, chopped walnuts, cinnamon and a little soy milk. Bananas or other fruit is good too. Nothing wrong with a little brown sugar if you want the sweetness. Honey or maple syrup are good too. Experiment a little and see what you like the best.

I buy huge bags of frozen blueberries and heat about 1/2 cup in the microwave and mix them in along with a teaspoon of brown sugar and some milk and sometimes a little coconut. Delicious.

My favorite:
1/2 oz of good parmesan cheese
1/8 c of dried currants (or cranberries)
Some days I add bacon. It's always less than 300 calories and quite filling.

I also like dried fruit with a pinch of pumpkin pie spice and a drizzle of honey or brown sugar.
Plus a dollop of greek yogurt or cottage cheese to up the protein.

One tablespoon natural peanut butter and half a banana!

PB & J Oatmeal is amazing!
Or, a good flavored protein powder with milk, if you have it.

I like the Splenda brown sugar blend, cinnamon, and a splash of milk.

1/3 Cup of organic frozen raspberries.

I like to add some raisins or chopped up dates. And some walnuts.

Also an extra tablespoon of flaxseeds for extra fiber and omega 3.

i'm happy eating mine straight, just salt and water and boil. i like to cook it where you see the individual oats vs it looking porridgy...to accomplish this i use just a lil less water than called for. the way i usu have oatmeal is like that w a lil splenda and cinnamon after cooking and topped w a microwave egg over easy.

if you really like the taste of brown sugar just measure it out and add. you can work it in just fine.

you can put anything in it. Raisins, cinnamon, coco powder, peanut butter, bananas, vanilla, nuts, etc

i like chopped up apples, cinamnon and bit of brown sugar. i also mix in a tb of flaxseed.

I heat up frozen blueberries and milk or stir in sliced strawberries or banana and about 2 Tbls milk! Yum, yum!

Love cinnamon-honey. Also walnuts-pecans-craisins-cherries.

When I was younger I always put black berry jam, honey or maple syrup in mine.

As an adult I bought the "Better Oats" brand of instant. 2$ at my local store for 5 pouches which have measuring lines on them for the liquid so it's great to keep in my bag for eating on the go at say work or a friends house. Better Oats seems to have fewer ingredients than say Quaker instant flavors plus Flax Seed. I really like the Dark Chocolate flavor one. I eat that at night instead of ice cream.

Strawberries N Cream is my favorite but the Dark Chocolate one is a great treat.
