    35g - Uncle Toby's quick sachets of oats.


    Me too, brown sugar and cinnamon flavour yummy! Especially in winter!

    Just to be awkward I have 2/3 of a cup when I have it.

    I will have to try the slow cooker method!

    I don't eat it much but my just-turned-4 year old eats 1/3 cup with milk, honey and berries, so I'd say 1/4 cup is too little for an adult...?

    1/4 cup but I add protein powder, PB2, and almond milk soots much more filling than just a 1/4 of oats.

    I use a 1/3 cup in my morning oatmeal but add flax, protein powder and banana so it bulks it up even more.

    I eat a 1.5 cups each morning just about. Often I'll throw in a cup of full-fat yogurt or a diced apple. If I'm not planning on going nuts on sugar the rest of the day I'll put in the apple and 1/2 cup yogurt. Sometimes I'll make the oatmeal with unsweetened light almond milk, but usually water.

    This morning I mixed peanuts into my oatmeal, which worked pretty good. A lot of times I'll just mix in peanut butter for flavor and extra protein.

    How many waters do you drink?
    Technically "how much oats" is correct since a unit is not specified or known. If she said "How much/many cups of oatmeal do you eat?" then the correct word would be 'many' in this sentence.

    I never really liked oatmeal, used to force it down actually. I recently discovered the steel cut oats and now love my oatmeal. I am definitely in the minority on this topic, I am currently using 1/4 cup with 1/4 cup cherry infused cranberries. It is amazingly delicious. I am full right now (just ate them about 1/2 hour ago), but am uncertain how long I will remain full.

    1/2 cup or sometimes 1/3 cup. I mix it egg whites and or fruit to make it look like more because the egg whites puff it up and add volume and so does the fruit and or nuts if I don't use my natural smooth peanut butter. I also use a small bowl and use a small spoon to create the illusion of eating more than it actually is.

    1/4 cup or half cup? i find 1/4 way too small sometimes


    That Depends ......

    1/4 C. steel cut & 1 cup water

    1/3 C instant steel cut & 1 cup water

    1/2 C instant (rolled, old fashioned) & 1 C water ..... these are essentially the same calories ......

    I eat a half of a cup of cooked steel cut oats every morning - add one tsp. of either sugar free jelly or local honey for sweetness. :-)

    If it's all I'm having I have about 1/2 a cup but if I'm having a little pot of overnight oats with fromage frais and milk then 1/4 cup plus some fruit or couple of eggs

    Sorry, no pics of this, but Ocean Spray makes the cherry infused dried cranberries. They also make a pomegranate infused, they are also amazing. They both have more sugar than the regular dried cranberries. When I eat this for breakfast, it only ends up being 250 calories, which is great for me, because I like to save my calories and eat a large dinner.
