For those of you who eat oatmeal...

Egg whites, peanut butter, stevia, dark cocoa powder, flax seed0

Depends. If I go the savoury route, I like to cook it in vegetable broth with split red lentils, then top it with salsa and avocado and lots of lime juice and hot sauce.
For sweet, soy milk, ground flax, mashed banana, protein powder, and flaked coconut!0 -
I like to prepare overnight oats. I just add almond milk, a teaspoon of vanilla, cinnamon, and a little bit of honey. Stir it all up and let it sit in the fridge overnight.0

I make organic steel cut oats (Bob's Red Mill) and I add raspberries and blackberries. After reading some of the previous posts, I'll probably add some banana slices as well!0
-
I alternate between a scoop of Naked PB with packet of stevia and a 1/2c frozen blueberries (no stevia with that one- the berries sweeten enough for my taste).
I like to make a big batch of plain steel cut oats in my crock pot on the weekend- I have enough for the week with minimal effort (and it lets me change up the flavors each day).1 -
Salt and butter. That's it.0

I do not understand overnight oatmeal so do you just prepare it and mix that in it and not add milk in the morning do you just eat it like that
You use rolled oats and you don't cook them at all! I am doing them every morning. The one I have this morning is:
1/4 cup rolled oats
3 tbsp. flax seed (or chia seeds)
3 oz black cherry yogurt
1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (lactose intolerant)
mix well in a pint size mason jar then add
5 of frozen blueberries
5 of frozen cherries
1 tsp honey
mix again and put the top on then put in the fridge overnight.
In the morning when I get to my desk I add 1/4 of a chopped banana and a sprinkle of granola.
You can use any yogurt/fruit combo. You can also use any milk product. I use almond because I can't drink regular milk, and I just like the taste better. I like mine super creamy, if you don't you can always not use yogurt and just use milk or water. You can also use any sweetener you want, or just use the sweetness from the fruit. The honey helps with my joints.
I am so trying some of the savory oats though. They look yummy.

I usually just mix a half scoop of peanut butter cookie protein powder in with some almond milk.
...but a couple of weeks ago I rendered down some bacon lardons, drained the bacon through some coffee filters and wiped out the pan. Tossed in some pecan pieces with a teaspoon of the filtered bacon fat until they were a bit toasty. Put the bacon back in and poured in a bit of real maple syrup and warmed it until it was a bit reduced. It didn't take much to make a yummy bowl of spiced oatmeal AMAZING.
We ate the leftover topping with blueberry cobbler.0 -
well, for my overnight oats I put in a little nutella (so it's kind of a dessert), almond butter, ground flax seed, chia seeds, almond milk, and greek yogurt0
-
Agave with cinnamon and nutmeg.1
-
If I eat it plain, I only add cinnamon. It's boring...and doesn't taste all that great, but it's more for fuel than anything else. However, I add a 3/8 cup of steel cut oats in the blender along with a banana, skim milk, blueberries, and two scoops of whey protein each morning for an awesome protein smoothie.0
-
1. One teaspoon of cinnamon when cooking it. It makes it taste sweet and spices are good for you. 2. a beaten egg before cooking it. 3. Ground flax seed. 4. Nuts. 5. Dried fruit. 6. No sugar-y anything.0

Ground Flax/chia seeds
Blueberries
Protein powder
Goji berries

When I want to save calories I add Oreo bits. Just the biscuit part not the cream. I just break them into nicely sized chunks and mix them in. It's much lower in calories than nuts.
Sometimes I let it cool a bit until it forms a "skin" then sprinkle some brown sugar on top and caramelize it with a torch. If I'm feeling fancy I would layer with a small amounts of dulce de leche beforehand for a mock creme brulee. Without the sauce it's actually nice on calories.
Cocoa powder or plain old chocolate and canned sour cherries go well together on oatmeal too.
Sometimes I just add protein powder or brewed coffee with milk.
I also like the combination of peaches and coconut cream, but it can get pretty calorific if you're not careful.1 -
I had never even considered eating savory oatmeal for breakfast before. It makes sense though because people eat eggs with salsa, so why not oatmeal. I might have to try this.0
-
I make it with low-sodium chicken broth and top with an over-medium egg.
Terrific idea! I also like savory mix-ins like PB2, cheddar cheese & sage, or nutritional yeast -- these also up the protein content. (Nutritional yeast being this stuff: http://bragg.com/products/bragg-premium-nutritional-yeast-seasoning-salt-free.html)0 -
I use most of the time-chia seeds,hemp seeds,protein powder and a berry of some sort sometimes 2 kinds, I will add powdered peanut butter sometimes,almond slivers,walnuts ground up or even pecans. it just depends on my mood and what I add to it. sometimes I will add chocolate/butterscotch morsels to it1

Water0

Sautéed vegetables, a poached egg and hot sauce0

I like to mix it up, depending what's on hand. My favorite is peanut butter (or PB2 if I need to save cals), banana and cocoa powder. Hershey's unsweetened cocoa power is bomb in oatmeal if you're craving chocolate! I'll also experiment with raspberries, blackberries, or blueberries. I'm a sucker for butter so I add in Smart Balance Light and I use Stevia to sweeten it.0

Dried cranberries, blueberries or raspberries, honey, cinnamon and sliced almonds.0
-
-
Maple syrup, pumpkin seeds, grated or diced apples (while cooking), dried fruit like cranberries, frozen berries.
you can add some flavorful liquids too sometimes I add a bit of apple juice while the oats cook.0 -
I chop a half of an apple and add cinnamon to quaker oats with water, microwave then add sugar free french vanilla creamer. Yum.0
-
I make mine by beating 1C milk,1 egg,1tsp vanilla together till well mixed. Then I stir in 1/3c quick cooking oats, add whatever fruit I feel like that day. Sprinkle cinnamon and nutmeg on top. Microwave for 3 minutes. Yummy.
Protein,fruit.,dairy,carbs.

I like to eat oatmeal made with regular oats (not instant). 1/2 c oatmeal + enough water to just start to show in the bowl. Microwave for 1 minute. Let sit for a couple minutes. I purposely make it a little thick so I can add almond milk or coconut milk. Things I may add: teaspoon of agave for sweetness, cinnamon, sometimes nutmeg, fresh or frozen fruit (blueberries, strawberries, banana, mango) dried cranberries, raisins, diced Apple. Almost any sweet fruit will work (maybe not citrus).0

I add 2 Tbsp of chopped pecans and one tsp of a faux Pampered Chef Cinnimon Plus receipe I made using Splenda. I do the Quick Oats (1/3 c) in the microwave and then add these toppings. Delicious and filling - comes out to about 130 calories.0
-
I mix 1/4 cup quinoa and 3/4 cups McMann Steel Cut Oatmeal with 4 cups water.
I serve topped with cinnamon, ginger, cloves, cran-raisins, and a little organic milk. Takes me straight back to my childhood. Love it!0 -
Stevia, chopped raisins or dried apricots, chopped walnuts or pecans, sometimes a little cinnamon. I only eat the steel-cut variety these days - better fiber, better taste.0
