    I put in half a scoop of protein powder (any flavor) and have that for an afternoon snack. Over the weekend I mixed some with mashed bananas and baked as cookies. I also love oats with some dried fruit and a little bit of maple syrup.

    I usually just make them into oatmeal and add a spoon of peanut butter and a little honey.
    Another thing I always do is use them with an egg as the glue in meatloaf or meatballs.

    My main use for oats is in baked oatmeal, which I eat a ridiculous amount of. I also sometimes put oats in meatloaf or use them to make whole-grain bread, or cookies and crumble toppings.

    I mix some oats with some mushed bananas and make some killer cookies.

    Today would have been raspberries. But, alas, my raspberries were fuzzy. And not in a good way.

    I normally do a little fruit and some honey.
    Trail mix is good
    Raisins or dried cranberries
    Peanut butter and jelly works, too, just control the portion to keep the calories in check.
    And I've done the protein powder scoop in them as well. Good stuff.

    Soooo many options. You could eat oatmeal every day and not run out of ideas for a long, long time.

    I just have water and cinnamon with mine, or chopped fruit with almond milk is nice

    Overnight oats are amazing
    1/2 cup oats + 1/2 almond milk, in the fridge overnight, top with fruit in the morning! Or you can get creative and add yogurt, seeds, cocoa powder, pb, options are endless!
