Add some sugar? I’ve learned to love the “blandless” of oatmeal. The name brand stuff (pre-flavored) is now way to sweet for me.

yeah oatmeal skirts that 2-3 line and I’m a big believer in rounding up. So I count it as 3. I think it also depends a bit on the type.. Old fashion, quick, etc, because even though gram for gram they are the same 1/2 cup doesn’t always equal a half cup. At least that’s how I THINK it goes. ;)

I make chocolate oatmeal using 1/2c oats, 1c water then mix in a packet of Diet Hot Cocoa Mix! Yum!!

Roni when I look up 1/2c Quaker Old fashioned Oats on my etools they come up as 2pts not 3pts…. But they also list them without a brand name and 1/2c is 2.5pts! Ack you would think they would have them be the same!

I love chocolate oatmeal. Your recipe looks delicious! I wouldn’t be able to have the chocolate almonds around – I’d eat them all at once! You do a great job of managing your portions. Thanks for sharing your recipes. I am always looking here to get new ideas. I must tell you, I LOVE your Southwestern Turkey Burgers.

h1 Jenna !

6 is a high breakfast when you are losing. I’d count it as 4 without them.. haven’t done the NI but the oatmeal is 3 and the milk is 1.

AS for the almond milk I think it’s pretty similar, for half a cup you’re looking at about a point each.

As I like almond milk taste better then soy) 6 points is a bit high for me for bfast as I only get 21 now! Yikes! I cant wait to be in maintenace to get some of my long lost points back!

I’m so glad somebody else likes chocolate oatmeal too! Normally I just put a couple teaspoons of cocoa powder in mine, but chocolate milk is such a great idea! I’ll definately have to try this soon.
