DH gets the multi-grain hot cereal from Trader Joe's and he usually puts in brown sugar & cinnamon or some milk with honey. It's really good!

Just buy plain old porridge oats and cook them, I don't think any of the prepackaged ones are as healthy for you as good old fashioned porridge oats.

You can add your own stuff to them if you want!

I use regular rolled oats and add a tiny bit of splenda, some kind of berry, and skim milk and it's really good! It feels more like a treat than a healthy breakfast and it keeps me full for so long!

Trader Joes has frozen steel cut oatmeal. It's delicious and my go-to breakfast all winter.

Re: Best/Healthy Oatmeal

We eat steel cut oats toasted in coconut oil. then add soy milk, honey and cinnamon following package directions. It takes a while but we make a large batch and heat it up

It's much better to buy the Plain Oatmeal and add your own sugar/cinnamon/spice.
