Browse food blogs and you'll notice that oatmeal tricked out with superfood ingredients (even savory ones) is superhot. To cook the trend, whip up 1/4 cup of dry, unsweetened oats that has least 3g fiber, then try these mix-in ideas from St. Petersburg, Florida, nutritionist Sarah Krieger, RD:

-1/2 pear, sliced + 1 TBSP pecans + dollop of Greek yogurt = extra fiber and antioxidants (total calories: 175)

-1 piece cooked turkey bacon, crumbled + 1 TBSP low-fat cheddar cheese + 1 TBSP scallions = protein power plus calcium (total calories: 150)

-1 TBSP walnuts + 1/2 small banana + 1/2 tsp vanilla extract = a sweet way to get your omega-3's (total calories: 175)
