46 Healthy Mix-Ins to Make Your Oatmeal Unboring

Looking back over the last, oh I don’t know, maybe 6/7 years, it’s amazing that I have been eating oatmeal ALMOST every morning for breakfast. I mean I’ll have cereal, too, some mornings, or pancakes and french toast on the weekends at home. Even when I have breakfast smoothies, 9 times out of 10 they are made with rolled oats.

So, for the most part my breakfast consists of oatmeal in some form.

What can I say. It’s very easy to have at work.

Hmmm. And now that I think about it, it’s the same story for my kids…oatmeal almost every morning with some old fashioned grits, pancakes, or cereal thrown in every so often.

You would think we would be bored of oatmeal by now, right?  We must be doing something right if we’re still eating it.
