I also recently started eating oatmeal for breakfast. Tried it straight up for two days, just cooking 1 cup of it in 2 cups of water. Tasted like wet cardboard, so I bought some Splenda to dash on it after cooking. That helped a little but not enough, so I bought some raisins to sprinkle in. As long as I get one raisin per spoonful I'm OK, though it still doesn't taste great.

Are raisins a good thing in the morning or do they spike your insulin too much? I'm still trying to think of something better to add to the oatmeal...

1 banana, 5 frozen strawberries, 1 cup oatmeal, 30grams whey, 16oz, skim milk.
I drink this when i wake up, and also part of my postworkout meal

i had a similar problem. i hated oatmeal, but really wanted to like it. this is what i did:

buy the regular oats (not the instant)

take a slice of an apple, and chop it up into small pieces
add chopped apple to 1 cup of water
bring water to a boil
reduce heat to simmer and add oats
when done mix with 1 cup of vanilla protein powder (i use promax by sportpharma), cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon of Flax seed meal (i get mine from Trader Joes)

i love this stuff. i will eat it 2-3 times a day.

I just add cold milk and eat it out of a cup.

That sounds good dude! Gonna give it a try. I love this forum.

Eat a breakfast burrito if you cant get it down. I substitute between oat meal and breakfast burritos, or just eggs and blackbeans with Turkey Link sausages.

Just keep eating it raw.

1) fill mouth
2) chew a little
3) flood mouth with water, swish a little, and it goes down the hatch.

Remember you don't eat because stuff tastes good, you eat for nutritional value.

If you really want to incentivize getting it down, take these two tips from me.
1) Set your countdown timer on your watch to 1 minute 30 seconds. Complete one mouthfull each cycle.
2) Drop a few peanut M&Ms into the cup. Consume them as it goes down (don't go overboard, but a few won't hurt).

Irish "Steel cut oats", slow cooked in hot water, add cream, stir alot, add real brown sugar stir some more = Good Eats + Great nutrition, (the steel cut oat is not rolled yet there for the body must break it down (soluble fiber) thus burning fat and cals.!
