    Oats

    I've recently been fine-tuning my diet and bought oats...

    What i do is follow as directed and use 3/4 cup oats and 1/2 cup water, and stick it in the microwave til it boils...

    It's a little... "bland", any body make there oats different or add anything for a little flavor? how do you eat them?

    Usually I just blend them and drink them, but when I do eat them I either add splenda, natural peanut butter, or whey protein.

    Here's what I do. Combine:

    1/6 cup old fashioned rolled oats
    1/6 cup steel-cut oats
    1/6 cup oat bran
    1/3 cup wheat bran
    1 tspn oat fiber
    1 tbspn peanut butter
    optional: 1/2 scoop unflavored protein powder

    mix it up. add hot water.

    regarding taste: everything besides the PB is "bland"--so it tastes like i'm eating a lot of PB.

    regarding satiety: this is so incredibly filling (probably due to all the fiber), i rarely want to eat anything more for the following 3 hours.

    LOL... How could you not like oats!

    And you can add anything:
    Cinnamon/spices such as nutmeg or ginger
    Vanilla essence/extract
    Cottage cheese
    Whey/protein powder
    Fresh berries/fruits
    Fat-free/sugar-free natural yoghurts
    Stevia (some people use splenda)
    Nut butters/nuts
    Sugar free jams/jell(o) or jelly
    Sugar Free syrups (eg: davinci syrups)
    Dried fruits
    sugar-free hot chocolate mix/cocoa
    Fat-free/sugar free pudding mix


    You can also use it to make protein pancakes, protein slices/bars etc...

    Personally, I usually have a mix of oats, oat bran, banana, cottage cheese and cinnamon.
