    Right now addicted to:

    1/2 cup quick oats, make w/water
    2 tbsp almond milk
    cinnamon
    1/4 c berries (some fruit)
    tbsp sliced raw almonds
    drizzle honey on top

    Delicious, fills me up for hours, even eat for dinner after workouts

    Blueberries, sometimes banana with a few finely diced walnuts! I'll actually use just about any fresh fruit I have in the house... apples, peaches, mango, strawberries... yum!

    Almond milk - unsweetened is an excellent source of calcium and makes it creamy. Stevia for sweetness.

    Mine's not low calorie, just good.
    Oatmeal, Almond Milk, Brown Sugar, Banana, Raisins, and Cinimon. 500+ calories. Blows my daily sugar micros away.

    I cook mine with water, a diced up apple and some raspberries. Some good ideas on new things to try, but peanut butter? Must be an American thing :)

    I've been using the 5 minute steel cut oats made with water, bit of vanilla extract, lots of cinnamon, small diced apple with skin, SMALL handful of chopped walnuts, and a teaspoon (or two) of maple syrup. I decided the carbs in this breakfast were worth it becasue it really gets me through the morning. Sometimes I have a hard boiled egg or poached egg on the side for extra protein. Definitley ditch the butter...not worth it ...the vanilla adds some richness to the taste.

    I love butter and sugar in mine, but need a healthier way to eat it!
    Do you make it with water or milk or ??
    What do you put in it?

    I LOVE oatmeal...I have tons of variations. I always cook it with water. Here are some mix-ins/combos I enjoy:

    1 tbsp PB+ 1/2 TBSP honey + sliced banana

    dried cranberries + maple syrup

    raisins + brown sugar (or brown sugar splenda blend)

    chopped apple + cinnamon + sugar (or splenda)

    canned pumpkin + brown sugar + pumpkin pie spice

    chocolate chips + 1 TBSP PB

    I normally put brown sugar and milk in my oatmeal. Recently my coworker turned me on to using honey instead of sugar. So this morning I added about three ounces of 2% milk to water and added honey and blueberries, it was soo yummy!

    I cook mine with water until it's really firm (can't stand it too runny), then I put a teaspoon or so of brown sugar in it, mix it up and then poor a little bit of cold milk over all of it. Yum! Not as healthy as some of the other mix ins listed, but that's how I've always had it.

    I use unsweetened vanilla almond milk, a few craisins,and about 1 tbsp of slivered almonds. Also, once in a while, I chop up and apple and cook it in the oatmeal.
