    I"m wondering the same thing! When i was on college dance team our trainer told me I was only aloud to eat oatmeal but plain with no sugar or milk...only water! I've never had oatmeal since but am really wanted to get that to be my morning routine since everyone says it's super filling and good for you!!! :)

    1 scoop of vanilla protein powder, 1 tbsp of coconut oil, one tbsp ground flax seed, 1/4 cup almond milk, cinnamon, and sugarfree maple syrup.....they call it power oatmeal, and it will get you MOVING!

    I just add a packet of splenda and a splash of skim milk and love it, but oatmeal is a very personal taste!

    I buy instant cinnamon oatmeal and only add hot water!! It's awesome and I recently learned that cinnamon, a favorite flavor of mine, is very good for you. When I was little my mom used to put carnation canned milk and cinnamon and sugar on my oatmeal. No wonder I have a weight problem! But it was so delish!

    I make mine with soy or nonfat milk because I don't like the taste of it with water. I add a sliced banana or blueberries, sugar free jam and light brown sugar for added sweetness. So yummy!

    I peel and dice a small apple and put it in with the oats prior to cooking to soften the apples some. Then after cooking add just a splash of skim milk, a pinch of brown sugar, and cinnamon. Everyone in my house loves it that way.

    I actually like it plain. Sometimes I put a little cream (YES, CREAM!) in it with agave nectar. I don't really like fruit or yogurt in my oatmeal. I also do like one brand of cinnamon apple instant oatmeal but it has less sugar than other brands, which is probably why I like it :).

    I normally buy the flavored instant oatmeals. They have weight control ones and low calorie ones.

    I make it with skim milk (I won't eat it if it's made with water....tastes gross to me no matter what I add to it to doctor it up). Then I add a little bit of honey, some cinnamon, and slices of banana.

    Soy milk and a tiny bit of honey - I use the weightwise one which has protein in and keeps you fuller for longer!

    I put light yogurt in my plain oatmeal. You can use whatever yogurt you please and have quite the variety. Very, very yummy!!!!

    I grew up eating oatmeal porridge just with milk (the traditional Scottish way). I used to get a lot of grief from my family if I tried adding sugar or golden syrup to it). Now I add fresh fruit and either plain yogurt , milk or fat free half and half. If I have no fruit, frozen berries or unsweetened apple sauce work too.

    I also enjoy soaked oats with yogurt, fresh or dried fruit and nuts - a sort of home made Bircher Meusli.
