Oatmeal...

[Haaji Dont Surf]

Anything healthy I can add to make it less bland?
I am sitting here taking a mouth full then chugging Diet Dr. Pepper.

You say you are bulking...

add fruit-- apples, bananas etc...

Cocoa powder, cinnamon, splenda, low fat milk, yogurt, whey powder...

Basically, add whatever you want. Oatmeal is a good base.

[Geeper]

Natty PB, splenda, whey.... almost anything

[EJFan]

i do natty PB and spreadable fruit (not jelly/jam)... and/or whey powder.

Get some frozen blueberries, then defrost them in the microwave and pour them into the oats. Heating in the microwave will make them leak a little juice, which mixes with the oats and tastes awesome.

I do this when I make the waffles.

Very yummy.

They're wonderful.

I just polished off one as we speak.

built if i don't add cottage cheese is it ok

[Built]

It will be dry, and kinda like spongecake.

That's how I used to make them. This is way better. Moist and wonderful.

i'm not a big fan of cottage cheese what else do you think i can use?

[LadyLifter]

my boyfriend and I did them without the cottage cheese and just didn't cook them as long...they were great..sugar free maple syrup is an amazing addition ...just a little on top...*wishes she had a stove...she'd make some for herself...wishes getfit could send some over*

I know it sounds bizarre, but you do NOT taste the cottage cheese AT ALL. It goes through the blender.

[getfit]

ok will do!

every night i make my oatmeal with scoop of whey, almonds, brown sugar, and honey. mmm so good

[Frankster]

put a little crystal light pownder in it before cooking it... I like the lime flavor.

[javyn]

nice definately going to try those waffles for breakfast tomorrow. i can't waste egg yolk though, i'll leave that in there

[AKraut]

People really don't like the taste of cooked oatmeal? I can add a little milk and eat it plain.

Javyn, Leaving the yolk might change the consistency of the waffle. You can experiment but I know egg whites are good for 'stiffening' or fluffing up a recipe and keeping the yolk might not get the same result...

[spencerjrus]

natty pb and fresh fruit

[danlifter]

I add a piece of shredded wheat cereal to my oatmeal and mix it in, its awesome tasting, you dont even taste the oatmeal, give it a try i gurantee you love it

[Sc00t]

When would you add the whey poweder? When the oatmeal is on the hob, or after it is served?

i add the powder when my oatmeal is done and mix it all up!

If you really hate it don't eat it, there are other alternatives.


I am so sick of oatmeal personally :drooling: . I stick to eggs and cereal for breakfast instead.
