What should I add to my oatmeal?

not sure if anyone mentioned this yet (sorry didnt read all the posts) but if you are just looking to sweeten it up, adding a little bit of agave nectar could be what you are looking for. it is very low glycemic compared to brown sugar and honey, and is actually quite a bit sweeter, so it will go a long way. you should look into it

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 add a scoop of my whey isolate and sometimes a little fruit.

Agave nectar is one of the biggest new scams in the health world. It's basically high fructose corn syrup that is made from starchy agave roots instead of corn. "Amber" agave nectar is just syrup that burnt a little while it was being cooked down.

what about a few bits of bacon? I'm sure you could chop up a half a piece of bacon and have an adequate sprinkling of flavor. I know its full of nitrates, but compared to the sugars in fruit, you're just trading one problem for another. I love bacon.
