Proti Diet (or other brands) Oatmeal Preparation. I prepare the PD oatmeal differently than on the directions because I like a smoother consistency. I also find just adding hot water does not soften all the oats to my liking. Put in a larger than cereal bowl dish. Add water. I also like to add cinnamon and nutmeg. Let sit for a few minutes to soften oats. Microwave 1 minute, stir and add a couple tbsp more water (after a few tries you will figure out how much water you like to get the final consistency you want! ) Microwave 30 seconds. (Watch it ALL THE TIME to be sure it doesn't swell over the top - hence the use of a larger bowl. If it gets near the rim, stop the micro for a couple seconds to let it deflate! ) stir. Microwave 30 more seconds. Stir. I also often first cook 1/4 - 1/3 cup riced cauliflower measure or weigh using veggie weight chart raw first) then add the oatmeal and water into that (a little extra water is often needed). Makes it an even heartier meal.
