    I've been eating mine with a scoop of chocolate protein powder and natural peanut butter - delicious and it keeps me full until lunch.

    i cant handle plain oatmeal, so im always adding stuff to it lol
    umm my most recent love is cocoa powder, a packet or two of stevia, and some shredded cococnut. tastes like a no bake cookie :D
    i also like putting different flavored protein powders in..
    craisins or raisins with cinnamon sugar.

    I add usually 1/3 cup greek yogurt plain or vanilla, 1 tablespoon heavy cream, and 1/4 cup fresh berries (either whatever's on sale, or whatever was on sale that I stocked up on and froze)

    Ahhh good ol' fashioned oatmeal is the BEST!!! Not like those packets that contains all sortsa other questionable ingredients such as a *kitten* load of sugar.

    Frozen blueberries or any berries are the best to dump in the oatmeal. If you still need something sweet try agave syrup. I like the cinnamon suggested previously, too.

    I use Bob's Red Mill quick-cooking oats - half a cup of that, with three-quarters of a cup of unsweetened vanilla Almond Breeze, plus a Splenda packet, some frozen mixed berries, and slivered almonds. Sometimes if I'm feeling sassy, I add half a scoop of chocolate protein powder. Mmm!

    yoghurt, fruit, nut butter, whatever. I add anything I want to my oatmeal. Although, I once used hot apple cider instead of water and my mouth threw a little party.

    I chop up an apple and soften it a little with a short hit in the microwave, and then a little bit of brown sugar for flavour. So good, and you get a serving of fruit with your whole grains!

    LOVE Oatmeal!

    Here are some variations that I do (I mix with water since I don't like milk):

    Oats cooked with canned pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice. After heated, mix in a scoop of vanilla protein powder.

    Oats cooked with cocoa powder and PB2 and ground cinnamon with 1/2 of a banana.

    There are a bunch of other combos too, but these are the 2 that I can think of at the moment.

    Two favorites - craisins and brown sugar or cinnamon and brown sugar

    Lately I've been doing plain oatmeal with a serving of homemade slowcooker apple-pear butter (from Martha Stewart's web page). Delicious.

    1/3 cup pure pumpkin + pumpkin pie spices. Delish! For a treat I sometimes add pecans in.

    --OR--

    1/2 banana + 1 tbsp coconut + cinnamon = tropical heaven!

    I usually add chia seeds to both dishes and sweetener/stevia.

    I have also tried a caramel stevia, that is so yummy!
