how do you guys make your oats ?

[solrosenberg]

I want to add oats in the morning along with my protein shake, but I have no clue how to make the oats . Do you just boil it ? If so, what do you add to it to make it taste better ?

Thanks

put the oats in the blender with your powder

I just put raw ones in the blender with all the other stuff.

really ? uncooked ? Does it make the shake taste any different ?

when i don't have time to use the stove, or want to clean the pot after (lazy much? lol)...

Microwave...

Oats dry... mix in a couple packets of splenda, some dashes of cinnamon to taste... add water... add frozen mixed fruit from the deep freeze...

2 minutes later after nuked... splash some milk on there, mix up...

Man, the best way I've found is just put 1/2 cup oats in the bowl...3/4 water and stir...microwave until cooked (the water will evaporate into the oats)...then I stir in some all-natural honey from the health food store...I let it cool for about 10-15 minutes then eat it in like 2 minutes tops...You can add some almonds in to if you like...I've also tried just putting peanut butter in it and that is not bad...I tried just putting Splenda in it and didn't care for it.

I do that only in a paper plate so than i can chuck the damn thing. works with 1/2 cup oats and 3/4 cup.. any more and the water overflows

Don't you guys have instant oatmeal?

All you do is add hot water, mix for about 10 secs and it's ready, tada!

hate to say it but all oatmeal is instant or close to it.
put a bowl of water in the micro for 2 minutes on high. then drop in a handful of oat and eat it. the oats soften up in under a minute

in a hurry -

put oats in bowl
pour water/milk in til either just covered or like an 1/8-1/4" higher than he oats (depends how you like it - sticky or not)
and nuke it for 1-2 min depending on your microwave

you can put raisins, sliced bananas in it or splenda or splend and cinnamon (put the fruit in before you nuke it)

whatever floats your boat and suits your diet


that said - food is better cooked the old fashioned way but time is time
