    shaved almonds, cinnamon & 0cal sweetener!! - equal is my fave bc of taste, but I know stevia.truvia.or spelnda also work --i chill it and eat it a dessert <3 ...even mix a mashed banana in!

    honey is a great natural sweetener

    Sugar free jam

    lovvvee adding fresh fruit --shaved strawberries- w/ dark chocolate cocoa covered almonds

    you can even also mix protein powder in --soo many differnt flavors!

    ....can you tell I love my oatmeal! lol

    coconut, alomonds, raisins, and a little brown sugar.
    just brown sugar.
    my sister likes to add dried cherries.
    I've heard of people adding cranberry juice.

    Cinnamon, ginger, stevia, and ground flax seeds. I can't eat oatmeal without flax, the texture and taste just seem wrong.

    Big fan of all natural honey. Not really a whole lot healthier than sugar. But I've always thought that naturally occurring honey is better for you. It's also shown success helping with allergies because it's basically made from the source. 'Works for me.

    Before cooking I usually add raisins or cranberries. I always weigh the amount (no overdoing it!) so it adds 20 calories. When the oatmeal is done I stir in a teaspoon of vanilla and some cinnamon or nutmeg or cardamon (whichever tickles my fancy in the moment) and I always have 1 tblspoon of dark brown sugar (it's very flavorful) and half a cup of milk. It is a good breakfast - good for you and good tasting) and adds up to 300 calories or so. If I am having a big workout day I will throw in a tbspoon of sliced almonds. Adds to the calories but very healthy and delicious!

    Carrot Cake Oatmeal

    To your plain oats add (to taste) shredded carrot, raisins, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, salt, brown sugar (if needed), you can add milk or butter.

    My fave breakfast is 1/2 cup Oats cooked in water. Then I add 1T each of walnuts, ghirardeli semi sweet chocolate chips, and clover honey. It is about 370 calories and it is delicious. Of course now I can't eat oatmeal w/o chocolate because it just doesn't taste as good!

    I usually use stevia for sweetness, then I slice a medium banana over the oatmeal, and finally I top it off with some vanilla soy milk. The banana and vanilla go really well together, it's super tasty and satisfying!

    Before I start making my oatmeal, I chop up an apple into small chunks, throw it in a cake pan, douse liberally with cinnamon, and toss it in the oven. About the time my oatmeal is done, the apples are ready to be mixed in.
    Great Idea!Sounds delicious!

    My breakfast 5 mornings a week is 1/2 cup (before cooking) of oatmeal, 2 teaspoons of dark brown sugar and a dash of cinnamon with a cup of coffee and 8oz of orange juice. The brown sugar is only 15cal per teaspoon so I allow that since I have very little sugar throughout the day.
