I start every day with breakfast! Most mornings I have Quaker Oatmeal - High Fiber and a 1/2 cup orange juice. The oatmeal gives me almost 1/2 of the fiber I need for the day and keeps me full all morning. Sometimes I sprinkle on some blueberries and then I've fulfilled 2 fruit requirements as well! A great start to my day

Oatmeal just doesn't fill me up. I like organic multi-grain that has no sugar and no salt.

I love to mix a serving of cottage cheese in with my oatmeal. Adds protein and makes it a complete meal!

I have had oatmeal for breakfast the last several days. Each day I have found myself still too full to really eat anything 6-8 hours later!! Love Oatmeal!

I love my morning oatmeal. Quick and fulfilling. I sometimes also add a little handful of walnuts for a little crunch.

A wonderful breakfast treat this holiday season is oatmeal for breakfast - with a twist. Use only half or 2/3 the normal serving of oatmeal, with smashed banana and pumpkin (great way to get breakfast veggies) and a few grams of chopped walnuts and or raisins, prunes, etc. Then mix in pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, calorie free sweetener or better yet, sugar free pancake syrup . MMmm, MMmm, GOOD!
I'm a big oatmeal fan. In face, I am happy to eat whole grain, natural oatmeal for breakfast almost every day. I vary the taste by adding fresh fruit before I cook it (an apple, a pear, a banana, or a handful of cranberries) and pop the whole bowl in the micro-wave. It's a comforting, healthy, and filling breakfast.
Oatmeal for breakfast - It is healthy & it saves time
Each weekday I have oatmeal for breakfast. On Sunday afternoon, I measure out my oatmeal for the week. It's easy for me to take all the containers into work on Monday and put them in my desk.
I never forget my breakfast this way, which saves me from having to stop at some fast food joint.
MORE INFORMATION:
I mix 1 packed of flavored oatmeal with 1/2 cup of the quick oats. It makes the flavored oatmeal last longer and is a very hearty breakfast.
