Oatmeal

Porridge setting on the Zojirushi heat induction rice cooker works for steel cut oatmeal. The warmer will keep the oatmeal warm for hours. Also the rice setting for harder works for quinoa.

You don't cook the protein powder - just stir it in after it is cooked. It just dissolves. You don't get hungry as fast if you add the protein powder.

If you put it in before you cook it, it will absorb most of your liquid and really give you a totally differently textured oatmeal. Don't ask me how I know this. Stirring it in after it's cooked is MUCH easier!

I do find that mixing it in after it's cooked actually makes my oatmeal 'creamier' which for me, is a bad thing. I can see how most people would probably really like it, though.

What kind of protein powder do you use? It seems like so many are filled with artificial sweeteners. I'd like to find one that doesn't have much taste to it so I can blend it with other things.
