What should I add to my oatmeal?

[Smokescreen]

Getting sick and tired of eating plain oatmeal. I need some "oomph" added to it to actually make it worth eating. What should I add. I know some of you are going to say to add fruits. Sounds great! But I really don't want to add "extra" carbs to my oatmeal.

So what should I add to enhance it's flavor? Someone suggested to me to just add a few blueberries. That the few blueberries I add really won't jack up much of the carbs. And someone highly suggested I add a bit of honey. But isn't Honey a "high glycemic" carb?

Any suggestions?

i have added some strwberry protien powder and milk oir water
berries are a nother good suggestion but will bring up the carb count
cinnimon is also good
honey
splenda

Honey is high glycemic though. Right?

A few low sugar fruits: Cranberries, cherries, plums,raspberries,apricots,papaya.

id say dont add any fruit or honey if thats what your doing right now cutting down the carbs the oatmeal should be plenty. the cinimon and almonds sounded like a good idea imo

A dash of fresh ginger root would not hurt either.

i would stay away from honey if your cutting
brown sugar is awesome but hi gi
i like the splenda brown sugar you almost cant tell the difference
cinimon is a good no carb additive to spruce up plain oatmeal as long as you like cinnimon
you could also use all natty maple syrup or a low sugar version

I did today oatmeal, with a bit of cinnamon and added 5 raspberries. That did the job for me.
