I was also recently looking to cut my sugar intake (was eating 4 packets of instant oatmeal in the morning, or roughly 170g of oatmeal and the sugar was adding up). So I started to do 80g of flavored oats and 80g of plain oats. My local Whole ~Paycheck~ Foods has organic oats in one of those free flowing plastic bins. Doesn’t solve your boredom issue, but I find mixing in seasonal fruit and different nuts keeps it interesting enough for me.
My nutritionist also advised me it was worth it to go organic on oats. She gets paid the big bucks to read the research so I’ve gone that direction.
Add a side of 4 eggs cooked in olive oil and you’ll have energy for the whole day (until the bathroom comes calling).
