    Almond milk instead of water. Add: *PB2 or peanut butter, honey & cinnamon.
    *Depending on calorie goals. Real peanut butter is way better than PB2.

    1/2 water, 1/2 milk and blueberries. I let mine get soft in the fridge overnight and then heat it up until the blueberries are all gooey.

    I like oatmeal sweet with fruit as much as the next gal, but this past winter I fell in love with savory oatmeal. Veggies like onions, mushrooms, tomatoes (fresh or sundried), spinach; meat like shredded crockpot chicken or sometimes pepperoni (pizza oat breakfast!); cheese (whatever's on hand); plus a poached egg or two. Sometimes barbeque sauce. Works with pretty much whatever leftovers I'm trying to use up, helps me get more protein. And is delicious.

    Cook in water, add a scoop of vanilla protein powder, top with cinnamon and raisins (and occasionally sliced almonds). Sometimes, I add a little milk too.

    Steel cut oats with a splash of soy vanilla milk and either a banana sliced up or whatever berries/fruit I have on hand. Yum, yum!

    Thick rolled oats with greek yogurt, mixed berries, cinnamon (lots), walnuts (few), and sweetened with a tablespoon of mixed berry all-fruit spread. (I go in for a hearty, stick-with-me breakfast, so the 356 calories of this is fine with me, even when I was on 1200 net.)

    I do overnight oatmeal!

    Base: Steel oats (1/2 to 1 cup), chia seeds (1-2 tablespoons), water (enough to cover it all and then some since oata will soak it up and expand), and a dash of cinnamon.

    Then I top it off with things like mango, berries, cacao powder, peaches, dates etc. if I feel like having something sweet and pop it in the fridge for the next morning. Great breakfast for on
    -the-go.

    I do regular rolled oats cooked in water. I put some no-sugar-added frozen berries in a bowl and put the hot oats on top. Blueberries are my favorite. Let it sit for a few minutes and then stir it up. The heat from the oatmeal thaws the berries, and they cool it down. No sweetener or milk added. I've never been a big fan of oatmeal, but I love eating it this way.

    steel cut oaks; chia seeds. i'm lazy so i buy the quick cook kind. use water. then i heat a separate small amount [like 1/8 c] of unsweetened vanilla almond milk for 30 seconds. Add 1 scoop vanilla protein powder and mix into the oatmeal. I call it PROATMEAL.
