No-boil oatmeal idea - advice / critique appreciated

[blue indian]

Ive been doing almost the exact same thing for years. It works fine

I've been using a 4 cup take out container from a Thai restaurant. It weighs 1 oz.

After breakfast, I put rice and beans in the dirty breakfast container to rehydrate for lunch. Then I wash it after I eat lunch.

I always find enough of other people's trash to fill extra plastic bags.

GREAT way to go!

Ziploc, instant oats, Nido, vanilla protein powder, some nuts and dried fruit, easy, fast, tasty, healty

There is instant oatmeal and there is instant oatmeal. They aren't all created equal.
Nature's Path. Original. 8 grams protein.

Bob's Red Mill. Half the protein.

"Hot. Fast. And Cheap." Tastes decent too. In my food bag for the Colorado trip next month.

Depending on how long you let your mixture soak and how much chia you have in it, the chia could set it up _solid_.

My go-to daily oatmeal that I make before work--and what I will be eating on the trail: two-three tbsp. whole oats, two tablespoons of Qia mix (hemp seeds, buckwheat groats, and chia seeds), half a tsp. of ground flax, some dried fruit, and cinnamon. At home I soak it in about 7 tbsp. (or more if necessary) of cold soy milk (put whatever liquid you want in it) and it is ready by the time my coffee is ready--maybe 5-7 minutes if I'm waiting for the French press. I'll probably use powdered milk on the trail. Small grains rehydrate well and in my experience, don't take too long. You can bulk it up for the trail with whatever you want to put in there to make it hearty. I keep thinking that an apple-cinnamon Larabar would be great in that mix for the morning.

I'll also vote for muesli and Nido. I tried it for the first time recently and it tasted great.

I must be doing something wrong. I don't even know where to find those in a store.
I do have what I guesstimate to be 7 days food in my food bag. Wonder of wonders. The food bag fits in the Catalyst along with everything else.
Blast off in 30 hours.

My no boil oatmeal: http://bobosoatbars.com

Or: oatmeal soaked in a little water with dried coconut milk, nuts, shelled hemp seed, shelled flax seed, other seeds, asst nuts, dried fruit, and possibly a Justins or Artisana nut butter packet. Nut butters have gone so far beyond just PB.
