For breakfast, I always eat oatmeal, Quaker Oats with Ovaltine. I wanted a vegan and more healthy alternative, yet the oatmeal seemed bland without the Ovaltine. Any suggestions of flavoring? Brown sugar, honey?

This morning I put dried cranberries, cinnamon, walnuts, chopped up apples and maple syrup in my oatmeal :-)

Any dried fruit (chopped apricots,cranberries,raisins) or fresh fruit(apples,strawberries, bluberries, raspberries, babanas, peaches) chopped nuts (walnuts, almonds) For sweeteners try maple syrup,agave nectar, vannilla extract, or brown rice syrup, and I like to put a little almond milk and ground up flax seeds on top too! Go nuts!

There are so many choices for oatmeal.

A cut up nectarine or peach - oh yummy all by their lonesome.

I like pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg and some chopped nuts. You can even add a tiny bit of maple or brown rice syrup.

Any fruit, nutbutter, nuts, seeds, etc. There are so many yummy things to put in oatmeal to make it yummy.
