How do ya'll make your oatmeal? I have the old fashioned oats by quaker (not instant). Does anyone add whey for flavor?

danzik17

I'm going to get yelled at for this but...Vermont Sugar Free Maple Syrup. If I don't have that, I just throw some salt on top and have at it.

jhawkin1

I don't actually cook my oats at all, I just get raw quaker stuff and bung it in bowl with milk. I do usually add a few mixed nuts and raisins in with it, which is healthy but not so great for cutting

Yeah I'm too cheap to buy muesli...

Well I've found if going low carb I can taste the sugar in anything, even french fries, but can still handle a bowl of oatmeal if a small bowl. A large bowl and we're talking sugar rush but a little bowl seems OK.

However during such a period a bowl of conventional cereal and you need a spatula to get me off the floor. Raw uncooked oatmeal seems pretty slow to digest and even with the milk's lactose it's not too bad sugar wise. Until I add the raisins etc

half cup of old fashioned oats, full cup of water, 2 minutes in the micro, add three packets of splenda, add a dash of skim milk, and have at it.

just some hot water w/ the quaker oats...lose the flavor, get a 6 pack...

PappaD

I use organic rolled oats. Grab a handful add some water, throw it in the micro for 1 1/2 min then add a scoop of All The Whey Cinnamon Bun Protein! Awesome!!!!!

chalkman

I like Scottish style Porridge Oats ... no sugar no salt, just Oats! they cook in six minutes. I just add Blueberries (a lot less sugar than raisins), cinnamon, ground flax seed, unsweetened Soy Milk, pumpkin seeds, Sunflower seeds and perhaps a few raw cashews.

Healthy and sticks to the ribs!

Cheers,

My favorite additions to oats for flavor:
-splenda and peanut butter
-splenda and ground cinnamon (also good with chopped up walnuts)
-chocolate whey (add some nat. pb for the reeses pb taste )

AKIRA

Thats as close as mine comes. Minus 1 packet of splenda and the skim milk.

I cant understand the idea behind eating oats "raw." I mean, it takes 2 min in the microwave! Must be just a choice...

I also cant understand why people put whey protein in the oatmeal. Ugh, then it turns into paste! Reminds me of Muscle n Oats. Disgusting.

I just have what sox listed + a protein shake with milk to wash it down. Dont forget the fish oils.

I must be the most simple... Just add a splash of water, and then nuke for a minute or two..

POund em down

1quick1

Coffee grinder + water + 1 cup rolled oats + whey protein powder = problem solved.

alexvega

it´s essential for add mass when u are running gear?

juggernaut

for precontest oats-just some cinnamon and splenda-for offseason, peanut butter and chocolate protein-added AFTER they cook.

KelJu

Sugar free vanilla coffee mate with cinnamon. You have to try it. It rocks! I have been eating it that way for years now. It never gets old either.

MeatZatk

steel cut oats with brown sugar, crushed walnuts, a splash of vanilla and cinnamon. Delicious! BTW I tried instant oatmeal a while back and nearly yacked. That stuff is awful.

I'm not entirely sure I see the point of oatmeal, known for it's relatively slow release of carbs into the bloodstream, with sugar on top?

Why not just a bowl of Super Chocolate WhizzoFlakes or something?

Bowl of icecream?

my wife likes that Elmer's glue shit.

Are steel cut oats a longer process to cook? I like my 5 minute old fashioned oats.

darren m

this might seem a daft question -- but why are oats / porridge so popular.
is it just for carbs?? would fruit ie .banana ,apple be as good .
and
anyone just mix the oats with there morning whey shake and just glug them down ???

juggernaut

darren,

the reason why is because a) they are so well combined with a lot of ingredients, b) they fill you very well-a serious help to a dieting bber, c) because they are most importantly slow burning carbs that really supply a good source of energy, d) they offer some substantial fiber-something that is really missing in a typical diet of a lot of people on this board, myself included. Add to that a couple of tsp of psyllium husk and you got some regularity!

juggernaut

yeaaahhh...I try this every so often but find it continually just keeps to the bottom of the blender. It's a pain in the ass to try and not get cut from the blender blades-I have a really strong blender-almost professional grade due to all of the shakes I make in a week. I love my blender!!!
