So, I just moved out into my own apartment and I am going to be very poor for a while, lol. I went to the store to buy bulk steel cut oats because I heard they were good and because they were cheap. I tried to make them with cinnamon and some other stuff in a recipe and it wasn't really all that good.

I need help understanding how to make oatmeal taste good so I can save myself some money on food! Besides, it's better alternative nutrition wise than most of the other stuff I've been eating.

HELP!

Well I have to eat it on my diet every day for 5 weeks.yuck! What I do is make the oatmeal, then mix 1-2 scoops of your fav chocolate protein powder in, add water if necessary to mix it all in. If you are not to concerned with weight then you can add in a teaspoon of natty peanut butter at the same time.

Tastes a little like a no bake cookie

[shaddow]

I eat oatmeal everyday, sometimes 4x a day.

As crader said, oatmeal + protein powder = money!

I like to throw some berries in with mine too!

I make mine with Frozen Blueberries, then mix in 2 scoops of On's Strawberry protein.

So the protein powders will sexify the taste?

Without a doubt! Just recently I was tossing in a scoop of ON's Strawberry into a cup of oats, and it was suprisingly good.

Although a bit more expensive, another option would be to include chopped fruits into your bowl. 1/2 apple, or a small peach chopped up adds great flavor, texture, and above all, nutrients. If you were to rotate on additions to your oats, I highly doubt you would ever become bored with it. Just make sure your additions are for the best.

i would just eat it, its not so bad.

Try buying the flavored oats, the cost comparison is almost identical. I actually eat the Quaker oats name brand brown sugar & maple best tasting oats Ive ever eaten. I also by the huge jug of plain Quaker oats put them in blender with my CHEAP Body Fortress protein and a couple scoops of peanut butter and milk which makes a 70g protein drink.


Quaker flavored oats 10packs $3.00
Plain oats 2lb $3.00
BF 52g Protein $12.99
Peanut butter $ 2.00

All found at your local freindly Wal-mart...lol And lasts me up to 1-2 weeks

Natural chunky peanut butter and a banana. My favorite mix.

Or you can just throw a package or two, or three, of splenda into plain oats, makes them taste pretty damn good.

What I do is blend em with my protein shakes
and voila, you drink the oats.
It gets kinda sandy feeling
so I would try and microwave it in water for about a minute or two
wash it with cool water and then blend with a protein shake.

Soft oats with protein. mmmm.

Thats great, but the ONLY problem I find with flavored oats is just the sugar they put in there.

Sorry LOL
I kinda have this pet peeve against sugar (for the most part)

[raginfcktard]

it doesn't matter what you add to it...just as long as its blended. oatmeal sucks so this way goes down MUCH qiucker and you can get more down!

[MentalTwitch]

F'n right! First time i ever tried oats i threw them out.
Second time added Cinnamon....yuck(forgot sugar)
3rd added cin. and sugar...meh it was easier.
Then i was like oh shyt! HONEY!!! pretty good if you wanna sit and eat.

For the easiest and best taste, like above make a shake.
for me...
1 cup oats
1-2 scoops Cytogainer vanilla
1-2 cups mixed berries or just one of choice.
AND a low fat flavored Yogurt. Usually my mom gets the "light and Fit"
the yogurt helps flavor and ease digestion.
