One of my nephews is ~5 months old and has recently gotten the go ahead to try oatmeal. This is the picture my sister sent me of the little man getting his oatmeal fix yesterday.
Sometimes oatmeal can get a little boring to me and this picture reminded me how amazing it really can be. I mean think of all the options of flavors that you have! Some of my favorite oatmeal mixtures are:
-cranberry and walnut
-peanut butter and chocolate almond milk
-chia seeds and cinnamon
-brown sugar and sliced almonds
-banana and chopped walnuts
All of these combinations taste great, but also have a great source of protein to balance out the carbohydrates. You can even add Greek yogurt or egg whites to the oatmeal for even more protein!
Another twist to traditional oatmeal is adding a little bit of quinoa to the mix.

Quinoa is cooked very similar to oatmeal and brings a little bit of a nutty flavor to the mixture. It's also another fantastic source of protein.
