Here is some Coach’s Oats advice: Drinking orange juice with oatmeal can actually double the prevention of heart attacks and help cleanse your arteries two times better. Pairing these two power foods together actually enhances their benefits, as they work as a team to “stabilize your LDL cholesterol,” according to the Antioxidants Research Lab at the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
In addition to drinking orange juice with oatmeal, you can top your oatmeal with plenty of other healthy choices. Some of our suggestions are:
• Blueberries
• Bananas

What are your favorite oatmeal toppings or combinations?
I love peanut butter and bananas, peanut butter and crasins, nuts and berries, but my favorite is creme brule oatmeal that they used to serve at Marriott hotels. It had oatmeal, a layer of bananas, custard and brown sugar that was melted to form a crust just like creme brule. OMG!
Sounds very good!
My favorite is oatmeal, fresh blueberries, and almonds. Second is oatmeal, almonds, raisins, and cinnamon.
I do an instant steel cut oats with Walnuts, a few cut up prunes, blueberries,(or just about any other fruit),Cinnamon, and a scoop of Hydro Whey Protein. Great after a morning workout.
