Sport Oatmeal

[firefreak]

One little trick that I use with the quick-cook style (nutritionally identical to the slow-cook kind) is to used powdered non-fat milk (also nutritionally identical).

1/4 cu. oats
1/3 cu. dry milk
1 cu. water

Mix it all together really well and use the microwave. Done in less than 5 minutes.

Its not that bad as I multitask in the morning. I get the water boiling, add the oats, turn down the heat and let them cook while i shave, shower and get dressed. i start to prep my lunch after and by then they are done.

Added 1/4 cup milk post cooking with the protein powder to them. Yum!.

If (for example), I am in a hurry in the morning and do not have time to make a breakfast I would prefer, I can get a nutritional push (when carbohydrates are post 100 grams), and nail down the big three by adding in Whey Chocolate Powder (25 grams Protein), and 1/2 serving of Smucker's Natural Peanut Butter (8 grams fat, 3-4 grams carbohydrates, 4-5 grams Protein), and a powder fiber supplement, to 2 servings of plain oatmeal (1 cup). Sometimes, I will add in grounded Walnuts, or Almonds, instead of NPB.

I started mixing a scoop of chocolate whey powder to my oatmeal (bran and wheat germ added), then adding trail mix and frozen blueberries. Its so good and easy to make that it may become my staple breakfast.
