I add 1/2 scoop of Cinnamon Bun NNW protein powder (found at Hy Vee), 1-2 tsp almond butter, and raisins to my oatmeal and love it!
@ Susan…I LOVE that protein flavor from HyVee…it is the BEST flavor to add to oats! Anyway…I saw a post the other day for sweet potato and almond butter to oats that I am just craving! I usually to toasted walnuts with almond milk, cloves and vanilla protein 🙂
Both sound delish! Teri-do you grate the cloves up? I used to add pumpkin to my oatmeal…kinda like the sweet potato addition.
