Default Update on oatmeal "meal"

Here's a healthy meal for about 50 cents - and honestly, it's tasty
enough. 1) 1/2 Quaker oatmeal - plus 1 1/2 cups water - microwave at
50% for six minutes 2) add two tablespoons of peanut butter (natural
is best) 3) sprinkle cinnamon on top 4) add artifical sweetener to
taste (4 packets for me) 5) stir well. The "secret" is to use 1 1/2
cups water, not 1 cup as they advise on the package. 350 calories, no
salt, "good" fat, chol lowering, fiber,whole grain. I use natural
almond butter instead of peanut butter.

The 1 1/2 cups of water makes it less thick. Since I'm adding almond
butter to the oatmeal it seems to help. Without the extra water I get
thirsty while eating the mix - of course experiment and see what works
for you.

Oh, I like to add more water and let it sit for a few minutes (5-10). YMMV.

I see. I cook mine on the stove and since I add a briefly nuked piece of
fruit, I prefer the oatmeal to be thicker. Maybe it's because I never had
milk on it as a kid - I don't want it soupy. I did try adding peanut
butter once when you mentioned it but didn't like it much.

I thought perhaps the extra water made the quantity seem like more to
you. What a wonderful, versatile food, eh?

Count me in on the thick oatmeal. If I accidently put in too much water I
end up nuking it longer or letting it sit longer so it will thicken. I

also
didn't get much from the pb addition. I like my oatmeal with protein

powder
& splenda, simple.

I use ground flax seed (I finally bought a grinder and grind it fresh
weekly!), almond butter, splenda, and blueberries to my oatmeal. Mmmmm
good...

32 grams vanilla whey protein powder
1/4 cup sugar free maple syrup

I love it!
