    I use water, because I can't tell the difference between water or soy milk (is what I would use instead). Then I sprinkle a bit of cinnamon/sugar mixture on top!

    I am sure it is not nearly as good for you, but I just eat instant oatmeal everyday. I eat it for breakfast, the maple & brown sugar kind, every morning for breakfast, with water. It is really tasty, what I like most about it is that I can grab it quickly and take it to work with me.

    To those using the instant oatmeal in the packets that have flavoring already in them. Maybe you are using them because they are quick, as I used to. It is possible to get oatmeal that cooks quickly and comes in bulk.

    I have discovered the Wessex Ltd Irish Style Oats, which cook in the microwave in about 2.5 minutes. After cooing, I add a 1/2 scoop of Genisoy Vanilla protein powder, and 1/4 cup of almond milk, and cinnamon. Then stir, and sometimes I put in apple slices, or 3 or 4 pitted prunes.

    This is very filling, high in protein, and I find when I start my day with it, I am less likely to develop cravings in the evening after dinner.

    My breakfast is now - 50g oats water 1/2 tsp cinnamon and 70-100s fat free vanilla yoghurt and 2 tsp splenda- I've recently cut out the honey and banana as my daily allowance is coming down in step with my weight -

    There's some great ideas in this thread I will be trying - apple sauce tomorrow.

    i usually stew an apple, add the glutin free porridge (which i cook seperatley), then add 2 egg whites for protein, when its all cooked i add flax & pumpkin, then a dash of soya milk, i use 40gr porridge, agan this is made i have double the size bowl., it looks to much but half of it is apple or sometimes berries.
    i use stevia for sweetner.

    I mix 1/2 cup oats, 1/2 cup almond milk, 1/2 cup fresh sliced strawberries, 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder, and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon in a pot and cook for about 5 minutes. It's wonderful! I can't have my oatmeal with water or without some kind of fruit added...just too bland for me and I don't like artificial sweeteners (I get my "sweetness" in there from the fruit).

    I make it other ways too, but that's how I've been doing it a lot lately and I love it.

    I used to add fruit!

    Banana
    Raisins
    Small Apple Cubes

    Or try Peanut Butter (only a little bit)

    But the milk in Taiwan tastes so fresh (it has a milky taste) that I can use low fat milk and not want to add anything else!!

    Cinnamon sounds good though, I want to try that! This is a good thread for ideas!

    I add egg whites when I'm cooking my steel cut oats I make a big pot on Sunday and it lasts 4 days. . I would stay away from instant oatmeal, it may not be any better than what you are eating for breakfast now. Dr. Oz once said that instant oatmeal was like eating a white potato.

    I whip banana slices into my rolled oats with almond milk and top it off with some sugar free maple syrup and cinnamon. This morning I also added frozen strawberries on top. So yummy. :) Of course, can't forget about peanut butter.

    I either put in diced apples or bananas prior to cooking it. Once it is cooked, I add in lots of cinnamon and two packets of truvia sweetener and it's really good!

    1 sliced Banana, 1 tbsp peanut butter, 1/4 c. almond milk
    Dried cherries

    I also like steel cut oats better than rolled oats. They have a nice nutty flavor.

    I am losing weight rather well on having either instant oatmeal or Multigrain Cheerios in the morning. The Quaker tastes great, but the better choice for instant is Better Oat's "Oatmeal Revolution" packets. They have flax seed and not nearly as much bad stuff. The price point is actually the same or less than the Quaker, and it's way better for you.
