Hey all...I have been having my oatmeal with blueberries in the morning for months now. It is getting old so I am looking for some new and interesting things to do with my oatmeal in the morning. Any suggestions would help. Thanks in advance.

    I used to put craisins in mine...

    or add some maple syrup to it; the smuckers brand sugar-free kind isn't bad and only like 10 calories per serving.

    I like to cook mine with a banana in it and then add some peanut butter at the end. SO yummy!

    I use 80/20 water/skimmed milk to make mine. Add some Linwoods mixed nuts/seeds and then some maple falvoured golden sryup. It's only about 150 calories and yummy. Have it every morning.

    I sometimes add in a tablespoon of peanut butter or nutella. It's really good and gives you some protein! :)

    Vanilla & strawberries. It gives it a sort of strawberries and cream flavor. I love oatmeal.

    1 serving of oatmeal (1/2 cup dry with 1 1/4 cups of water) - microwave for 1 minute. Add cinnamon to taste, ground flax seed, 1/2 scoop of vanilla protein powder, and 1/4 cup of plain almond milk. This is my pre-gym breakfast almost every morning.

    I like making oatmeal pancakes. I mix a serving of dry oats and one egg (or 3 egg whites). If I use plain oats then I add in some cinnamon. I heat it on the stove, a few minutes on each side. Top with a little syrup and fruit.....yum!

    1/4 cup raw old fashioned oats
    1/2 Tbsp ground flax seed
    sprinkle of cinnamon
    1 Tbsp slivered almonds
    1/4 cup low fat milk
    1/2 banana
    1/2 tsp brown sugar (optional)

    It's my version of muesli. You eat it uncooked and cold. It's good, and according to my calculations, it comes out to 200-220 calories, but feel free to double check to be sure :)

    I was watching TV the other day and caught this really good recipe for overflowing oatmeal:

    1 serving of plain dry oatmeal (from packet or carton)
    DOUBLE the amount of water specified (or 1 part water & 1 part almond milk)
    1 pkt of splenda or stevia
    1/4 banana, peach, or apple

    The show said to cook it on the stove for 5 mins, but I cooked it in the micro (in 1 min increments) and it was fine. The best part..you get twice the oatmeal (more water = more swell) for the same amount of calories as a little bowl.
