Tips & Tricks: Bulk Up Your Oatmeal

When it's cold outside, there is nothing I crave more for breakfast than a hot bowl of oatmeal. However, sometimes one pack of instant oatmeal just does not fill me up. Also, when having instant flavored oatmeal, I find they can be very sweet. My tip to bulk up the oatmel is instant oatbran cereal! Just one quarter cup of this added to your oatmeal packet and you instantly have voluminous oatmeal :-) How awesome!! Total points for the packet of oatmeal and the oatbran added is 4 WW pts!!! Not bad at all! Also, the oatbran helps dilute the sweetness...how sweet is that :-p
Added bonus: an extra 4 grams of fiber from the oatbran!!
I hope this tip comes in handy for all you oatmeal lovers out there!
