My best oatmeal concoctions!

I love breakfast! My one issue is that I can never decide what to have because I love so many different kinds of food for breakfast. Over the past few mornings I've been experimenting and here are my favorite concoctions!

crunchy creamy fruit oatmeal:

1/4 cup (dry) oatmeal (cooked = 1/2 a cup)

1/2 cup plain nonfat yogurt

1/2 cup kashi heart to heart cereal (or any other cereal, such as cheerios, honey bunches of oats, etc.)

1 small peach, diced

1 plum, diced

3 strawberries, diced

1/2 cup of blueberries

mix it all together and you've got an extremely filling breakfast for under 340 calories!

Chocolatey raspberry oatmeal:

1/2 cup (dry) oatmeal, cooked

1 cup raspberries

1 tablespoon nutella (chocolate hazelnut spread)

mix it all together, and you've got a treat that tastes AMAZING for 315 calories!

Crunchy cinnamon and banana oatmeal:

1/4 cup (dry) oatmeal, cooked

1 large banana, mashed

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup kashi Golean crunch

again, mix it all together and eat up! it's about 300 calories!

heh, i usually eat my oatmeal very simple, usually with a dab of honey, cinnamon or jam. i might also top it with fruit.

i usually have it with toast and peanut butter or some eggs.

Nah, Im a toppings girl. I've taken photos and written recipies of my best creations on my blog
My favs are cheesecake porridge (original. i tried cocoa this morning but not as good as lemon)
Berry porridge
Banana porridge

I have a small amount of oatmeal tho. Cos I always have somehting else like a crumpet or yogurt and fruit, and my whole brekkie is 300 cal.

Ribena porridge is ok, but a bit plain. Needs cottage cheese and berries.

i usually have

40g of oat bran - 100 cal
3/4 cup water
2 egg whites - 40 cal
half sliced apple - 40 cal
1 tsp cinnamon - 5 cal
low cal sweetener - 5 cal
dash of soymilk sometiems - 20 cal

i mix everything together and microwave it. it's only around 200 cal, like 9g fibre, more than 11g protein and really filling. also tastes good.

i partically like bobs red mill scottish oatmeal ( i have a bulk tin of it) and mccans steel cut irish oats

i usually dont do much to these two cereals, they taste good and nutty by them selves, i usally just add a bit of honey, pure maple syrup, dried fruit, or even salt.

now quaker oats... thats a different story, they taste so bland they almost beg for sugar and add ons.

Oo oatbran. Can you tell me about that? How does it taste?

i really like fruit with my porridge also.  I quite like Millet porridge, made with millet flakes as it's quick and microvable which the whole millet isn't.

1/3 C millet flakes

2/3 C water

1/3 C skimmed milk

a dash of vanilla

nuke on high 3.5 mins mix and give another 15 secs or so, just till boils to top of bowl and then sprinkle with sweetner and add sliced strawberries and banana.....mmmmmm

i loveee oatbran! it's like creamy and smooth and is delicious. i like it with a couple of packets of splenda and a bunch of cinnamon. it's so good it feels like it should be bad for you.

and a half cup uncooked is just 150 cals, and once it's cooked it's HUGE

oat bran is awesome. it doesn't really have a strong taste, kind of like oatmeal. you have to add sweetener to it, usually just cinnamon and splenda or stevia. it also turns out huge after you cook it
