Hi guys! It's morning now here and guess what I have for breakfast? Something I really never liked before but now I really love it.. Oatmeal! Well, before I would eat oatmeal as it helps in my digestive problems. I used to buy the flavored ones so I can eat it. I even just add a little of it to my milk but not really eat it the way it should be. But lately, I have really liked the plain oatmeal and just add some milk and a little sugar. That's my breakfast almost everyday and my snack almost all the time! I don't know what happened but it just all changed and I started loving it! Anyways, the great thing is I love something healthy, right? How about you guys? Do you also enjoy a bowl of oatmeal? Or you avoid it?

Oatmeal is very good for you. It really sticks to your ribs too! I used to get one of the flavored types too but not anymore. Your body may be craving it and so you learn to like it. I used to eat alot of it when younger. Now I eat Cheerios and fruit. Fruit to break your fast is very good for your system also.

I always have a bowl of instant oatmeal for breakfast. I would add milk and a wee bit of sugar. One time, we were sent packets of oatmeals with almonds from the US and it was so delicious! I looked for it at our supermarket, but there's none. So anyway, i like having my oatmeal and then after that, two slices of bread with different spreads. Top it with coffee and i am so full already. I forgo of it only, when i do some fried rice.

I love oatmeal as well! Which oatmeal do you eat? the ones that come in packages or the one that are the minute ones? My boyfriend doesn't like me to give my 1 year old the ones in bags (apples and cinnamon) because he things those are not 'real'? lol

I do enjoy oatmeal once in a while and the way I like it simply with milk and no sugar. lol.. not a sugar type person and in fact when I have coffee it can only have a pinch of sugar. But oatmeal seems to carry me well for several hours as it fills me up nicely.

Hi! Yes, oatmeal can fill the stomach well.. Ohh.. I can eat it without milk but not without sugar... I love sweets.. But I'm trying to be moderate now..

Thanks and enjoy your next bowl of oatmeal!

I love chocolate so I would add cocoa powder to my oatmeal, it is really delicious! It is very healthy and suitable for breakfast always. It's good that your taste have changed and now you like it. I do not have it so often as it's more convenient for me to eat bread before rushing to work. I like to have it on weekends and just enjoy the taste. Happy eating!

Hi Banny!

Honestly,haven't tasted one yet and by just looking at its appearance I think I might not like it,lol! So I never tried tasting it even if I know it's a healthy food.

I understand why you feel that way now in oatmeals. Sometimes,when you are already used to it,you will for sure like and look for it everyday as if it is already in your system. Once,I was forced to drink an herbal drink which I really need for my health,it really tastes awful!

But when I got used with the taste,my day seems not complete without drinking it and 'cause I know it's a healthy drink and I will fully benefit from it.

HI!

Well, yes when you're not used to it.. Geeee.. You may vomit it.. It's not bad tasting but so plain tasting. Try flavored ones and you'll see you'll love it. Or just drink the drinks with like oats like Nesvita.. they taste better..

Happy day!

It is a sweet and tasty breakfast or treat. I often use milk, brown sugar and raisins or dates. Once the temperatures start dropping I think I will need to get back into the oatmeal groove.

hi bannybanzie well when it looks like grey library paste and is cooked til its really runny here in Gold Crest it lacks eye appeal but I know its really so good for you I do eat it and for me the key is Cinnamon,yep plain old everyday cinnamon as it gives it flavor and keeps my blood sugar under control cinnamon is a boon for us diabetes as is oatmeal too. so I do eat it we have it every other day here. I loved it when I fixed it with raisins and walnuts as walnuts are also very good for you. lol lol.

Well I'm having it now..

Ow, we're opposite. I tried to eat flakes then I bought a small box of it. I did not finish it but had my dad eat it. I feel dizzy every time I eat it specially when w/ milk..

Happy day!
