    Half a scoop of banana chocolate protein powder ;) I have yet to be convinced there is a better idea for both taste and weight management!

    Sounds delicious! I put protein powder in my smoothies but I never thought about adding to oatmeal. Thanks for a great idea!

    ohsheglows.com has some great oatmeal variations. My favourite is Carrot Cake Style.

    Usually just a little brown sugar and cinnamon. Saturday I added dried cherries, maple syrup, and cinnamon. That was fantastic.

    cheese, veggie sausage, and herbs. i cook it in a low sodium stock and it turns out almost like a breakfast risotto. so good and an nice shift away from the usual sweet oats.

    I prefer eating oats that have been soaked overnight, rather than cooked. I think the flavor is much better.

    unsweetened apple sauce is amazing in oatmeal, especially with a sprinkle of cinnamon. i also like walnuts, almonds, pecans, dried cranberries, dried tart red cherries, raisins, and golden raisins.

    Any fruit, almond butter, cinnamon, vanilla protein, nuts, etc. a variety of those, not all at once. Almond butter is the s#*!

    What wonderful ideas --

    I am boring and I usually just make my oats with a little bit of real maple syrup, brown sugar, and walnuts.

    I have a bunch of new ways to try my oats in the morning!!

    Cook with water. Then add a bit of unsweetened almond milk, some cocoa powder, some flax meal, and peanut butter. Yummy!

    This morning I mixed mine with a tablespoon of peanut butter and a container of Snack Pack butterscotch pudding. About 300 calories and kept me full until lunch.

    I make overnight oats every night, and rotate through flavors. Here are some to get you started:

    I also like to make a "mocha" flavor with instant coffee and chocolate chips, and recently I made a pineapple coconut one that was really good.
