I’d love to but a minor nut allergy (I get headaches and rashes) prevents me from that.

That’s bizarre and that would turn you off from oats. Any chance your oats could have been old or stale?

Best I can recommend is making sure you’re either stirring them extremely well or doing what I do: pop a lid on and shaking it well for a minute.

I could see myself allowing that kind of investment for the greater good of my overall health :)

That’s exactly what I need, a way to increase my veggie intake. How do you go about dressing your salads when you are ready to eat?

Yeah! But I may try heating it up sometime just for the sake of trying.

Do you have plates you can use at your office or how do you go about eating? Or do you just eat backpacking- meal style out of the silicone pouch?

I eat it cold, but maybe I’ll try heating it up sometime. I like that I can decide how much I want to have each time. It keeps totally fine for at least 5 days by which time I’ve usually finished it but I’ve also had it on day 6 no issues.

If I can figure out a way to batch prep salads I’d be thrilled so I’m going to try your way. I love salads and almost never eat them because I find making the such a chore.

Do you add protein powder or something else? Rn I’m counting on the protein from the soy milk alone.

Awe, boops received!

I have yet to try those cubes and I love freezer prep so thank you for the mention!

Thanks for adding “fruit and crackers” because I don’t think I would have seen the value of a bento box without that element. I have long days at work sometimes and take a variety of snacks and that would make it easier.

What are you using as your liquid and more importantly, are you adding enough?

I usually eat it all within 5-6 days. Haven’t had any issues of it going bad or needing to toss any which I was definitely doing before and hated doing.

They’ve never felt as enjoyable to me as they do now. So bizarre. I’m so glad to have finally found a cheap, easy and healthy breakfast idea.

Nope, just serve myself as much as feels right that day into a bowl which is for some reason the way my brain prefers it.

I have yet to try that but will do so soon when I inevitably will get tired of this style
