I Love oatmeal but I eat it with almond milk and brown sugar. What do you all eat on it that would be much healthier and that tastes good? Thank you!

    I love oatmeal, I use it as a filler food. I put raisins, cut apples, cranberries, almond shavings, sometimes I use just one, or sometimes I mix them together :o)

    I use Splenda mixed with cinnamon, and occasionally will mix in a little fruit such as a 1/2 of a banana, a few strawberries, or a few blueberries for a different taste. I eat my oatmeal almost every day and it is one of my favorite snacks!

    I mix a handful of frozen blueberries into mine, and give it a stir. They thaw and warm up almost immediately.

    1/2 cup old fashioned oats, 3/4 cup water, microwave for 2 minutes, then add 1 tablespoon sugar free blackberry jelly, about 8 frozen blackberries. Or raspberry jelly and raspberries, or blueberry jelly and bluberry jelly. There are only a couple calories in the berries, about 10-12 in the jellies, and whatever in the old fashioned oats, plus no sodium at all! I have begun to really like my oatmeal this way and this is coming from someone that didn't eat it a month ago.

    Or 1/2 cup old fashioned oats, 3/4 cup water, microwave for 2 minutes, 1 tablespoon Hershey's light chocolate syrup, 1 tablespoon of regular peanut butter or even less calories, 1 tablespoon of PB2 either regular flavor or chocolate flavor. You can even smash a banana into this one or omit the peanut butter, add the banana and you have chocolate banana oatmeal.

    My other favorite, 1/2 cup old fashioned oats, 3/4 cup water, microwave for 2 minutes, add a tablespoon of honey and a teaspoon or more of cinnamon. Or omit the honey and add a packet of sweetener for cinnamon sugar oatmeal.

    adding honey will do the trick :) I eat that almost every morning-adding fruits is just as delightful.
