Oatmeal for breakfast

[Dogmama]

I add a scoop of cottage cheese after the oats are done cooking. Mix it up really well, add some pecans & a little sweetener - voila. Non-fat cottage cheese doesn't do it for me - needs to be low fat. Some dried fruits (raisins, cranberries, cherries, whatever) is a nice touch too.

So, you get fiber, protein and fat. Great combination to keep you going until lunch.

I really like the Trader Joe's quick steel cut oats. 5-7 minutes, dried cranberries or raisins, a little brown sugar, sometimes some toasted pecans and a dollop of milk. I also like fresh fruit sometimes, like berries or fresh peaches. When I know I'm going to do a more energetic ride, I'll throw in a spoonful of nutella.

Do you microwave it? Sounds yummy!

Dogmama, about how much cottage cheese do you mix into how much oatmeal? Sounds yummy

I usually use about 1/2 cup oatmeal (dry) & about 1/2 cup cottage cheese. If you nuke it for a few seconds after you mix it in, the cottage cheese gets really creamy.

Dogmama- no need to microwave the Trader Joe's oatmeal. Just pour 1/4 cup into 3/4 cup boiling water, turn to simmer, make a cup of tea and pack my lunch, and it's ready.

Thanks!

So, I have to pack your lunch while it's cooking ?
