    You guys got me craving oatmeal something fierce. I just indulged in a bowl of oats with mandarine oranges and a glass of milk. Man did that hit the spot.

    So i recently figured out that the Quaker oats instant oatmeal has a lot of sugar so its healthier to eat the oats without it(well no duh) but what do you put on that plain boring tasting oatmeal to make it taste, well, good?

    Ok, this is going to sound gross but it is really good. I take about a cup of oatmeal, add about 2tsp of brown sugar, a half cup of skim milk and a tsp of blood orange flavored olive oil. You get your healthy oil and it tastes like a creamsicle.

    Some kind of fruit (dried or fresh), some kind of nut, and pumpkin pie spice. For a sugar substitute, I prefer xylitol because it's natural but doesn't taste as weird as stevia. I used to love oatmeal with almond milk, until I looked at the nutrition label and saw how much sugar was in almond milk. I tried unsweetened almond milk but it was just gross.

    I've trained myself to enjoy it plain, but when I need a little something extra I'll add a teaspoon of brown sugar or honey and some cinnamon!

    I love oatmeal and there are so many ways to make it. I usually make bake oatmeal and I eat it everyday for breakfast. There are tons of recipes online for baked oatmeal I just modify to make it healthy and to my taste. My favorite baked oatmeal has oats, diced apples, almond milk, eggs,raisins, cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. It even taste good cold which is usually how I eat it. I make 8 servings at a time and it only has 184 calories per serving. I also eat it with plain greek yogurt for more protein. You can add whatever you like to oats.

    I make mine a bunch of different ways.

    I do the overnight oats with 1/2 C chocolate almond milk and add a sliced banana when I serve it. It's great in the summer when I don't want to eat a hot breakfast.

    When I make it hot, I use the same spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, the smallest pinch of ground cloves, and a dash of vanilla extract) and honey to sweeten. Then, I'll add some fruit. Personally, I like banana, apples, and strawberries. In the fall, I love to add canned pumpkin. I make mine with water then add a little bit of milk at the end . I'll also top it with some chopped nuts if I have them.

    I normally add a spoonful or two of creamy peanut butter and a small box of raisins. Talk about filling. Tastes great and I'm full for hours.
