oatmeal the night before?

blaind6 Posts: 63 Joined: 2007/03/27	2007/05/07, 05:50 PM Anybody cook and refirgerate oatmeal the night before? How does it do being reheated the next morning, or making enough for a couple of days to save time in the morning?

I put it in a plastic container and keep it in the little fridge in my office. Each morning when I go from the gym to work I scoop out my daily ration and heat it up. Yes, the texture is different than when eating it freshly cooked...it is much thicker. But I am a freak who loves oatmeal any which way and I never get sick of eating it.

I just add hot water from my tap at work, mix and add protien powder...works for me. (the hot water is actually steam temp...so very hot) -------------- Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there. -------------- The harder you fall, the higher you bounce

But adding the protein powder to the oatmeal sounds like something I'd like to try. Not sure how my chocolate powder would taste though. -------------- \\"You don\\'t drown by falling in the water.
