I don't like to eat oatmeal. I'll eat it ocassionally because it raw and just hae it microwaved with water. Many of you put brown sugar, but what's the point? You are avoiding sugar to begin with-that's why you are eating oatmeal.
What are my other complex carb choices?
Baked Potatoes?
Wheat bread?

why not put your protein powder in with your oats? There are many creative ways to make it taste better my favorites are putting a serving or 2 of natural peanut in with it and stirring it up and it tastes great. Also I put some Substance WPI in there and that is amazing.Originally Posted by raymondh

Just use common stuff from the grocery store like Okra, dragonfruit, plantains, milkweed, any of those are popular choices and very good carbs.

Either one is fine but sweet potatoes are slightly better. Go with whichever you prefer.

sweet potatoes... mmm i eat em like theres no tomorrow... my other favs are barley and brown rice. Occasionally ill throw in some whole grain pasta (brown rice/spelt/whole wheat/whatever)... but those make up most of my diet.
Of course I love my oats too
...
why not just toss in a cup of berries and maybe a scoop of your favorite whey in your oats... can make a tasty meal
