Try Better Oats brand. They make one that is 100 cals. I get Peaches & Cream and Blueberry Muffin. Those are 160 cals. I don't need to add anything to it. When I did plain oatmeal (or even the Quaker flavored pouches), I always added milk, butter and sugar. So that's saying something They're also full of Omega 3s and other good things.0

I add some natural peanut butter and eat it with apple slices. YUM!0

Bump! Thanks for the ideas. I use to eat the sugar bomb kind from Quaker. Great ideas!0
-
Dumb question here... For those of you who put peanut butter in your oatmeal, do you add before or after it's cooked? Thanks!0
-
Just yogurt. so good!0
-
Some slivered almonds, banana, and some dark chocolate chips. Not overboard on the chocolate though that will make it very overwhelming0
-
Try mixing in a packet of sugar free hot chocolate! Yum!!!0

Craisins and sliced almonds and cinnamon0

I use a packet of original instant oatmeal and add 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce, half a scoop of vanilla whey protein powder, and a tablespoon of milled flax seed. Sometimes I add some cinnamon too.
This combo also tastes great with cream of wheat.0 -
I used to eat the instant oatmeals a lot (the variety packs) but stopped because I had to make it too runny to keep from getting heartburn afterwards. Has anyone else had this problem? Would adding things with natural oils (like peanut butter) help?0

This morning I put 1 cup of regular oatmeal and 1 cup of milk in the microwave for 1 minute. I then added 1 cup of the cereal I usually have for breakfast.0

I am always trying new ways to keep oatmeal not boring. Here are some of mine:
I use quaker 1-minute quick oats.
try them raw all mixed up with a half cup of flavored yogurt or smashed all up with raw banana or strawberries or applesauce.
sprinkle raw oats on top of peanut butter banana toast with a little bit of honey - just enough to help keep the oats from all falling off.
sprinkle raw oats on another kind of cereal you like.
cooked with milk, strawberry syrup or honey or molasses or agave nectar or apple slices, cinnamon, brown sugar, raisins (all the usual stuff).
cooked with maple flavoring, sugar and milk. or with a little pancake syrup and milk
I keep oatmeal at work. I'll cook it in the microwave and add a little vanilla coffee creamer or pumpkin spice coffee creamer because I don't have milk there. It tastes good.0 -
I add just a tiny bit of honey (i know it's sugar but a small amount goes a long way) and a decent amount of cinnamon.0
-
I do steelcut oats and mix lofat vamilla yogurt or whatever flavor I am in the mood for. Since I don;t cook it before, it swells in my tummy and keeps me full longer.0

This sounds a little odd, but I love uncooked oats mixed with PB. It's a great quick snack with good carbs, fat and protein. Someone posted a recipe for no-bake PB balls that was oats, PB, honey and some chocolate chips (you roll the mix into balls and put them in the fridge)... sometimes if I need a treat, I'll toss some honey and/or chocolate chips into the mix.0

Half packet of Purvia and cinnamon. Yum!0
-
i like fresh pineapple. It adds the sweeteness I miss and actually taste pretty good. I also do the bananas cinnamon thing too. Yummy, I actually a big fan of oatmeal0
-
I've been on a cranberry & flax kick lately, but also like blueberry & almond. I think fruit and nuts are great additions, get a little bit of sweetness and little bit of protein!0

Anyway, I love mine with raisins. I cook it with the raisins in and they go all plump and juicy.0
