pumpkin oatmeal

[emily_in_nc]

I pour a little bit of flavored creamer in my oatmeal. My favorite is fat free hazelnut. Yum!

I love the taste of those creamers too, but they are not healthy at all, and they're actually not fat-free -- they just make the serving size small enough that they can say that. The fat in them is partially hydrogenated -- very bad. I keep trying to get my in-laws to stop buying them.

Here is the ingredient list for Coffee-Mate Coffee Creamer, Hazelnut, Fat Free:

Water, Sugar, Corn Syrup Solids, Partially Hydrogenated Soybean and/or Cottonseed Oil, Dipotassium Phosphate, Sodium Caseinate (a Milk Derivative), Titanium Dioxide, Natural and Artificial Flavors, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, Polysorbate 60, Carrageenan, Beta-Carotene Color.

Kinda scary! I'm lucky to have low cholesterol so can get away with a splash of real half-n-half in my oatmeal. Yummmmm!
