Today was my second time trying oats (the first being many years ago). As per the instructions on the packaging, I prepared 5 spoons of instant oats in hot water and apportioned it to try out the following:
- Oats with salt, pepper and cheddar cheese - this was tolerable, suited best to my penchant for savoury food.
- Oats with plain yoghurt - too tangy for my liking, one scoop and I'd decided something must be done.
- Oats with plain yoghurt and fresh mango cubes - this was much better, but I can't be eating mangoes on a daily basis - sugar level and cost!
- Plain yoghurt with mango puree - since I had a little more mangoes left, I smashed and mixed them into yoghurt to make fresh mango yoghurt. This was nice, no sugar added.
Update: Today (15 Oct 2013) I tried adding fresh carrot cubes to the oats variation no.1 above and it was more palatable (to a junk food junkie like me) due to the texture the carrots rendered. Maybe some spring onions would make it more interesting with the mild pungency.
