I Hate Oatmeal!!

[Eye34]

My trainer wants me to stick to a very strict diet, and eat a cup of oatmeal everyday. I try, but it makes me GAG! The best I can do is cut up a banana, pour the oatmeal over it, and when the banana is gone, I toss the rest.. Does anyone have any ideas to make it taste better? Or an alternative to it.. What about just eating granola bars or something!! I need help!!!!

what kind are you buying...?

have you tried the Kashi stuff...?

i'm not a fan of plain old oatmeal either, but this stuff is bearable...

Try mixing two packets of splenda and 1 tbs of sugar free strawberry preserves.. Or try adding 2 tbs of sugar free maple syrup and some cinamon.

lacoste is right on, I usually eat it with a tad bit of splenda or you can try mixing it with 2 tablespoons of ANPB. Delicious. I can't eat the stuff plain either, it just taste horrible.

There are other options for healthy carbs if you really can't handle the taste. Ask him for an alternative.

Exactly. For awhile I hated oatmeal, so I would have mashed baked sweet potato mixed with egg whites and cinnamon.

Now I hate sweet potatoes, I'm back to eating oatmeal w/ blueberries, cinnamon and cooked with vanilla flavored soymilk. lol

Ezekiel bread is a great alternative as well. You can find it in the organic section.

This is what I do. I mix the oatmeal with hot water, but not to hot. Stir it up like the protien powder mixes, and then down it as if I were drinking a shake. You only taste it a couple of times depending how many gulps it takes to get it all down.
