    Check out Kodiak Cakes oatmeal cups. They have extra protein in them. They also have some other healthy product options with extra protein.

    I like the taste of oatmeal, but not the texture. I used to buy oatmeal, put the whole box through the blender(in batches), and put it back in the box. Then I would measure out a portion large enough for breakfast in snack size baggies. I would add freeze dried fruits. (From Dollar Tree. I think 1 bag is enough for about 6-8 portions). You could easily add spices and sugars. Then grab one in the morning and microwave just like regular instant. Quick, easy, cheap, lower calorie version.
    Why not add protein powder, too?

    I tried my first overnight oats today. I'll call it a success.

    0.75 cup Quaker one minute oats (I know that's not recommended, but it's what I have, and I've read it's OK if you don't leave it for days)
    0.5 scoop Strawberry whey powder for extra protein and sweetener
    Handful of frozen blueberries
    1 tbsp Chia seeds
    1.33 cups 2% milk

    It came out a little soupy, will use a bit less milk and bit more chia seeds next time. Tasted good though. About 550 calories with 34g protein.
