If you mix protein powder with it (I've only done this with chocolate-flavoured) and put both the oatmeal and protein in a blender before adding water, it mixes it up real good and chops the oatmeal flakes up into smaller pieces.
Then add some water (or milk if you want) to the blender and whirl it up.... put it in a bowl, microwave it for a while until some of the water/milk gets absorbed....
.... and it tastes pretty fucking good.
Don't microwave it too long or the protein will harden the whole thing and it will become rock solid. Just long enough that it becomes warm and it's too runny.
adding protein works wonders. i wont eat oatmeal w/o it. i put water in the microwave for 3:30 and then add it to the mixed oatmeal/protein. mix it up then put it back in the micro for 90 seconds. i actually like eating oatmeal now.
Get yourself some Musli instead. Rolled oats, some wheat germ, raisins or other fruit, add milk, and enjoy....cold of course. Give the milk a few minutes to soften things up a bit.
