Making Oats more enjoyable

My personal preference for eating oats is to just pop what i need in my bowl, add my unflavoured protein powder then sprinkle in some 'Skinny Cow mint chocolate' drinking chocolate which you can find in any supermarket.

I use light Alpro Soy Milk with my oats, mix it all together then whack it down my neck cold. No hassle meal that doesnt taste all that bad.

Quick & easy, thats the name of the game!

i love oats

i cook them with skimmed milk/raisins/flaxseed/ almond powder
keep them milky and they are super duper

Sprinkle some over a double sausage egg mcmuffin, its really nice.

I just love them with water, blueberries and a light sprinkling of cinnamon - lush!

The cinnamon really does it for me! Amazing stuff, the spice of heaven!

Method:
Mix the eggs then add the oats mix it again (don't use a mixer use a fork to mix)

woooops! just saw that robbo1984 had the same idea

I mix in a spoon of peanut butter(cook with the oats).. and when it is cooked add choc whey(i use myofusion) and some sliced banana....gawwwwwwjusss!

I've just started having oats again and I have -
 
70g oats
Handfull raisins
Teaspoon peanut butter
Teaspoon of honey
Sprinking of cinneman
 
I bring this mixture to work with me, add some semi skimmed milk and microwave for 2 minutes.  Wash it down with a protein shake.

That smoothie is a great idea, will have to try it. 

some good and interesting ideas there :P might have to give them all ago :)

i cant even seem to make hot oats, got a bag do as says and microwave and i never get the texture i like

need to try some ideas and get this stuff in me twice a day, breakfast and bed maybe

texture is the thing that i dont like, watery etc

necking in a shake is a bit much on the throat

You could make Protien flapjacks, i have done this for a while.
You make a big batch and it will last the week, theres loads of protien flapjack ideas if you google it. I make mine with oats, protien powder, peanutbutter, applesource, 1 egg and then throw in things like coconut flakes or ground almonds just to make it a bit different.
 
Spread the goo over a baking tray and bang it in the oven for around 20 mins............
 
I havnt got the consistency right yet but working on it.
 
Flapjacks are good to eat on the move too, so an extra bonus, and if you make a batch a week, you save time/ washing up etc........... Im not a flapjack sales man btw

I always eat oats only with milk an HONEY, yes honey gives a great taste to oats! try it!

Im totally the same with the texture thing, best thing cut em out and have ready brek - shreddies - branflakes either one of them for win!!
