Re: The underrated benefits of always having oatmeal at lunch

Just a few hours ago while celebrating Easter, I had a discussion about oatmeal with my girlfriend's husband's dad about all the ways oatmeal can be enjoyed. My favorite way to make it is let the oatmeal sit overnight in vanilla soy milk, then mix in peanut butter, coffee, and cocoa powder or chocolate protein powder, and microwave. It's so good. I eat that at work maybe two or 3 times a week.

All the accompaniments suggested are sweet so I'll say something I've said before: oatmeal works fine with savory accompaniments. If it's made at the normal porridge-like thickness, any toppings or add-ins that work with Asian rice porridge recipes (congee, dakjuk, etc.) will work with it. If it's made with a very thick consistency, it can be treated similarly to mashed potatoes or polenta

I do roughly the same thing -Just oats with nuts and berries, no coffee or powder- but I haven't landed on what kind of oats to use yet for soaked oats. There are a ton of different kinds out there.

I can’t figure out which is worse, a girlfriend’s husband’s dad, or a husband’s girlfriend’s dad.

I usually just get the quick oats. I dunno the difference between em all. Texture doesn't really matter to me.

Sometimes I like to put a banana in there or some blueberries.

I eat oatmeal for breakfast every day. Can’t imagine skipping it though.

I do the same, I think I've had it for breakfast almost every day for the last year. My wife can't stand having the same thing more than a few times in a row (not sure how common this is), but I don't mind it at all.
