    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.

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

    Agreed.

    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.

    My favorite thing to add to oatmeal is brown sugar and chopped nuts. Mmmm!

    cooked in water, with a scoop of protein powder and 2 oz of milk stirred in after cooking. Or plain, cooked in water, with a pat of butter on top, and a sprinkle of salt.

    Absolutely whatever the heck I have lying around!
    Usually I cook mine over the stove with water (or almond milk), but then I get as creative as my kitchen allows with the mix-ins!
    I've tried several flavors of protein powder (adding it in after it's cooked), all sorts of different nut butters (maple almond butter, salted caramel jif spread, trader joe's cookie butter, pumpkin spice donut coconut butter, nutella, etc.), hemp pro 70 (less delicious but very healthy), Hershey's candy corn creme bars, Nestle's limited edition pumpkin spice morsels, and the list goes on! As long as the oatmeal is hot you can melt just about anything into it fairly easily - in fact, I wonder how marshmallows would be! Or my red velvet cappuccino powder mix! ;) I'm a bit experimental, obviously.

    Steel cut oats. Cooked with water, cinnamon, pinch of salt and vanilla. A few golden raisins. I prefer it cold from the refrigerator. Mmmm....

    Oatmeal is so good with any combination of fresh or cooked or dried fruit, honey, pure maple syrup, butter, coconut oil, nuts and nut butters. All YUM. :)

    Oatmeal with banana, sometimes with a tbsp of almond / nut butter. Trying to cut out nuts though but went cold turkey . Does anyone feel like this?

    Quaker instant oats with water and a scoop of Vanilla protein powder. Maybe Blueberries if I have some knocking about. I still cant tell if I like oats/porridge or not. I never really look forward to it.

    I've never done overnight oats. Do you just soak them in water or milk and leave in the fridge?

    I love oatmeal, I eat it most days. I use organic rolled oats with hot water and add my favourings. Some of my favourites are; mashed banana and peanut butter, banana and blueberry, cinnamon and dried cranberries and apple and cinnamon. I hope this helps.

    Morning or post-workout protein shake.

    8oz Almond Milk + 2-4oz of water (if desired, for consistency reasons)
    1-2 scoops protein powder
    L-Glutamine powder (optional)
    1/4 to 1/2 cup plain oatmeal - blended to a powder
    1 small to medium banana (optional)

    Add all the ingredients to a small mixer/blender and let it whirl.

    I am not a big fan of plain oatmeal, even with fruit, etc. So this is a pretty good way to get it in my diet.
