What's in your oatmeal?
In college, I was so happy when my mom brought me 2 Costco double packs of quaker oats. We had no other food in the pantry. My roommate and I were happy for the food because that meant not having to walk two miles to get breakfast at the dining hall. We got tired of plain oatmeal real quick. Here are some things that we tried in our oatmeal to power through it:
Beer (liquor store was closer than the dining hall)
Pretzels
Coffee.
M&M's
gummy worms
Tootsie Rolls (not bad)
Peanut Butter (not bad).
Starbursts
Ice Cream
Jam packets that we took from the 24 hour diner. (Best idea ever)
Various pie leftovers.
Mountain Dew
Thin mints
Ground up Pop Tarts (pop tarts are distgustingly sweet to me)
Whatever else we could bring back from the dining hall.
Trail mix (Which I still use today)
In hind site, we should've gone grocery shopping more often instead of waiting for our moms to intervene. Some of those toppings came from candy-dish leftovers.

I put Sugar Free French Vanilla Sweetner and for more fiber, Pureed Raspberries and carrot.
Yeah some will think pureed carrot for Oatmeal, But I can barely taste it. Raspberries and the vanilla hide it very Well0 -
I buy the Quaker Oats instant packets. Currently doing high fiber maple &1 brown sugar. I've begun slicing up bananas in it just to get extra potassium in my diet. I think I'll try adding pecans in like someone posted earlier.0

Right now:
Raisins
Sunflower seeds

Soak in water for 5 min, put in microwave for 1:30 min (or not)
put further in:

Barlean's mango peach fish oil - makes it sweet and tastes good

top off with 130 g of Cobain 0 % fat Greek yogurt:0 -
