I see a lot of people recommending oats. Do you mean those canisters of plain instant oats? I know it's not the little packets, those are all sugary. Also, if it is the canister oats, how do you make them taste decently?:p Might just be me, but they taste terrible to me. I tried cutting up a peach and putting it in there but that just upped it to "ok."

I make mine with some organic stock cubes and also sometimes vanilla and dried berries but I don't really like sweet tasting things in the morning. I also sometimes add some pumpkin and sunflower seeds.
 
i put some vanilla protien powder in it, and some strawberries, and or blueberries. i hated plain oatmeat at first, i guess when you eat something enough you really start to like it
 
More than you ever wanted to know about oats...

In order from natural/unprocessed down (and longer to shorter cooking time):

Oat groat: this is the whole oat grain after its been cleaned, toasted and husked. Since it's unprocessed it retains the nutrients/natural goodness. There are oat groat recipes around, but you kinda have to look for them.

Steel Cut Oats: this is where the groats have been cut into pieces - so again still pretty close to the natural packaging.

Rolled Oats: this is where the groats are steamed then flattened by a roller (extra surface decreases cooking time). The thickness determines the cooking time.

Instant Oats: steel cut oats that have been steamed and flattened, often added with sugar and/or salt.

Hope this helps.
 
I get a multi-grain breakfast mix from Trader Joes and add a tiny bit of Splenda and some blueberries.
