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 guess it depends on your taste. I usually fix oatmeal for the week on Sunday night. 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 do the same as msmgreen....its not too bad at all...you might have to add a dash of water or milk to it to smooth it out alitle again before you reheat it....but the taste is pretty much the same..

I eat quakers "weight control" oatmeal in the packets. It saves a lot of time for me and it tastes great.

I do the same thing as fouts, but with just the regular packets. 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.

Wow FlyOTW that is a great idea...I've been sticking with the morning cereal and a protein shake three hours later. 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.
