What do YOU put in your oatmeal?

I use plain oatmeal and I put in molasses, raisins, flaxseeds, sunflower seeds, and sometimes walnuts if I have them. It's so good! I also add a little soy or almond milk.

Try slicing up half a banana and lightly frying the slices on both sides in a nonstick pan with a small amount cooking spray. Then toast 2 tablespoons of coconut flakes in the same pan and add both to your oatmeal! I like adding a little splash of coconut milk, too. It's SO good--preparing the bananas in that way really brings out a sort of caramelized-banana flavor.

I cook mine with water... then add 1 tbsp natural peanut butter, .25 cup 0% plain Fage (greek yogurt), .5 scoop vanilla protein powder and .5 tbsp honey.

Delish... and my 3 year old loves it!

Blueberries!

flax seeds, brown sugar, and Craisins!

egg whites! they make my oatmeal super fluffy, creamy and delicious. I had forgotten all about this until recently and am back on the egg whites in oatmeal train :bigsmile: great added protein too!

This topic was made for me, and I think everyone should try my recipie, cuz I'm damn proud of it.


1 cup oatmeal, with water, nuked for 2 minutes.

add 1 scoop chocolate whey protein,
1/4 cup frozen blueberries
1 tblspoon flaxseed
1 tblspoon wheat germ

mix and enjoy..

= super choco oatmeal!

I use Trader Joes steel cut oatmel. My favorite additions right now are ripe perssimon, a bit of almong milk, and cinnamon. yummm

I put tablespoon greek yogert flaxseeds splash of green goddess juice

I use McCann's Irish Steel Cut Oats and I top with butter, cream, dried cranberries or cherries, toasted pecans, and a touch of brown sugar.

Semi- skimmed milk! Porridge has about 213 cals so add some artificial sweetener or not as you prefer. I'm not a true Scotsman for that last remark mind you but I have lost around 1 and 1/2 stones in the past 3 months. Asda or Tesco sandwich for lunch around 300 calories and a drink either tea or diet coke.I add a third of a pint of milk as 150 cals for daily use in meals tea coffee etc.Dinner at night usually consists of either meat fish or lamb or pork around 120 g. with potatoes and veg. I have kept around 1270 cals per day and can include a packet of salt and vinegar crisps in the evening or maybe a slice of toast . So it does work but one of the most important things I have to consider is keeping a tally on how much I eat so I must keep a record. If I don't I begin to slip back into the abyss. Anyway good luck MY FITNESS PAL is a fab way of enjoying a new lifestyle.

unsalted butter, Splenda and bananas -- my favorite!! Of course, the best is to use Bob's Red Mill Steel Cut Oats or 10-grain cereal but we like regular old cream of wheat too....not such a big fan of classic Quaker Oats. Prefer the finer grain.

1/4 banana, 1 T. peanut butter, 1/4 blueberries & raspberries (if I have them). Sometimes chopped pecans or walnuts and unsweetened vanilla almond milk & sometimes 1/2 t. vanilla extract

Berries or honey. Thinking I'm going to try PB2 x

I've been eating Dan-D-Pak - Goji Omega Boost Oatmeal, and adding in cinnamon and a 1/4 of an apple.It's so good!!!
