These keep the oat meal fresh and is a built in bowl. I carry them to work, add water and microwave. They are reusable and no waste. I've also started adding Chia Seeds to my oatmeal mix. It has many of the same values as flax, plus are good for cholestrol, but they do not have to be ground to be effective. You can add them to almost anything with changing the flavor. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03780831735141149732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162868398041347638.post-40239884017635429812012-06-29T00:49:51.231-04:002012-06-29T00:49:51.231-04:00I love porridge, but we've never had a microwa...I love porridge, but we've never had a microwave so I've gone without.

It's almost in the same category as chocolate! <br /><br />However, I am so glad that you posted this! My family loves oatmeal, and the packets just aren't as healthy as anyone (except those who make them) thinks they are.<br /><br />I will be making these this weekend, even made a special trip out just to get the creamer since we're not coffee folks.Lyannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086350619733386289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162868398041347638.post-52593784145452190552011-08-10T15:17:29.878-04:002011-08-10T15:17:29.878-04:00this is the most exciting thing I have seen in awh...this is the most exciting thing I have seen in awhile!!

It's a lot like your mixes but I add lightly ground coconut flakes and chopped pecans along with raisins (or currants) and ground flax seeds. Mixed with yogurt it's a treat in the morning. My littlest one (18 months) is ga-ga for it.Poppy O'Neillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15168602895407598277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162868398041347638.post-36558018440505333132011-08-08T12:51:51.923-04:002011-08-08T12:51:51.923-04:00I went to the Thrive site and am stuck on which ap...I went to the Thrive site and am stuck on which apples to order.

These look so fun and I just ordered a whole bunch of freeze dried fruit to make granola. Not sure how the prices compare, but I ordered my fruit from waltonfeed.com I ordered mangoes, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, peaches, blueberries, bananas, pears. They have quite a variety. I can't wait to whip up some mango raspberry oatmeal packets. Thanks so much for the idea... I hadn't even thought of it! :)The Tutu Wranglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863630521372145931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162868398041347638.post-42821831447889208972011-08-06T11:35:05.050-04:002011-08-06T11:35:05.050-04:00Katy, I meant to tell you happy anniversary on the...Katy, I meant to tell you happy anniversary on the 4th!

Guar gum is added to give oatmeal a thicker, more gelatinous consistency, which I don't like, but I don't know if there are any health concerns regarding the consumption. As for the calcium carbonate, I don't see any reason to add that if you're using milk powder or milk to reconstitute. Adding boiling water works just fine for us. You just pour it in, stir it, and let it sit for a couple of minutes and breakfast is served!No Big Dill https://www.blogger.com/profile/08414131508018685093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162868398041347638.post-57856432664364538922011-08-05T23:02:23.182-04:002011-08-05T23:02:23.182-04:00I use "quick cook" oats when I make oatm...I use "quick cook" oats when I make oatmeal in the microwave, and cook for 3 minutes (also known as 3 minute oats); how do they work to just pour boiling water on them?<br />I have Apples & Cinnamon Instant Oatmeal here, and the ingredients are: whole grain rolled oats, sugar, dehyd. apples pieces (with calcium stearate and sulphites which are very normal on dried fruits), salt, guar gum, cinnamon, calcium carbonate, and natural apple flavour. I keep hearing how bad instant oatmeal is, but guar gum and calcium carbonate are the only things I don't add when I make oatmeal myself, LOL. I might make up some packages though for days I'm out of milk for cereal.TracyKMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07498896222222982320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162868398041347638.post-52039219502414140402011-08-05T14:03:19.761-04:002011-08-05T14:03:19.761-04:00Wonderful, wonderful!
