I am attempting to eat mine this morning and struggling...

I have some blueberries, cinnamon, and butter. It's not good. In any way.

What is a way to make it better, while keeping it healthy?

    I get the 100 calorie packs of brown sugar cinnamon. I add a tbsp. of light butter. extra cinnamon and some extra truvia brown sugar. (only 5 calories per tsp). I sometimes add a spoonful of splenda to sweeten it more. I don't like fruit in mine. If I have room I will have a piece of toast and light butter with it also. I love my oatmeal!

    If I don't have room for the extra fat from the butter, I will eat the same oatmeal packet with some splenda in it, and a few Lilys diet chocolate chips.

    I could only get half of it down. The fruit did sweeten it a little, but not much.

    Apple and cinnamon sound pretty good too!

    Why eat oatmeal if you don't like it?

    One of the changes that I've made is that I don't waste my calories eating things that I don't like.

    Is there some food that will fill the roll that oatmeal does in your diet that you would rather eat instead?


    I haven't eaten much oatmeal in my life. I read that I was good for you and thought I would give it a try. But wanted to see if there were other ways of making it before I gave up on the whole idea of it. :smile:

    Today was my first attempt. I do feel quite full, despite only eating half of the serving.

    As far as other foods, I'm not big on eggs, they smell bad to me, and cereal never tasted good, except the apple cinnamon Cheerios. I don't know what else I can do for breakfast. Usually I just have a cup of coffee and call it good.

    You don't have to eat breakfast if you don't want to.

    I really want to like oatmeal, but can't get it near my face long enough to taste it! The sight and smell undo me!

    I didn't start liking oatmeal until I started using the steel cut oat. I cook a big batch, add whatever fruit you want to it. Let it cool and then refrigerate. The next morning I spoon some into a bowl heat it and the add a few scoops of Vanilla Greek yogurt!!! Mmmmmm so good!!

    I actually eat mine with a spoonful of honey peanut butter. :) It's really filling and adds a little sweetness also.

    I take mine with some banana chopped up on top and a tablespoon of almond butter. Other times I add a 2-3 teaspoons of brown sugar. Strawberries and banana are another good combination of toppings to me. For whatever reason I was disappointed in blueberries on oatmeal, though I love them.

    Perhaps it will grow on you. There are some variations in oatmeal so perhaps try different types.

    Quite watery with honey. It's basically like a thick, hot honey drink. Unsurprisingly, I "eat" it from a mug.
