    Sounds interesting, I'm not a great cereal eater so maybe this would be a way I could enjoy oats? Can you replace the almond milk with anything else? I have to be careful with nuts and I'm not sure I could get it easily here anyway.

    Sounds good. I'm never full after breakfast, lately--maybe this will help.

    Hmmm, think I'll add some protein powder before I pop it in the fridge.

    Thank for the oatmeal tips - I am going to give it a try.

    I had it this morning--added in one of those little pre-cut cups of unsweetened peaches and a packet of Splenda. Now let's see if I can stay fullish with that and some coffee. Yesterday I wanted to eat everything that wasn't nailed down.

    For the hot/cold folks - I think you gotta eat this cold (as another poster mentioned - heating the yogurt may do bad things).

    Other questions - did I see someone did this without chia seeds? How did that work?

    And: where do you get chia seeds? Can I find them at the grocery, or is it a health food store purchase?

    OP: are the chia seeds a Tablespoon or a teaspoon?

    The recipe that I saw on Pinterest said 1 1/2 teaspoons.

    Silly question ... If I don't like yogurt, will I like this? I have tried to eat yogurt, but I just can't. Does the oatmeal and other ingredients mask the yogurt? In other words, if someone gave this to me to try and didn't tell me what I was eating, can you tell it has yogurt in it? Can I replace the yogurt with something else?

    I think I still taste the yogurt, but I like yogurt. I'm not sure what else could be used. Depending on your flavorings it likely cuts down on the yogurt taste.

    I love oatmeal but used to it being hot. How does the very cold oatmeal compare????

    I'm loving it cold. Someone else mentioned that it's like dessert and I think they were right. For spring/summer/early fall, I think it's great. Cold winter mornings...I might be back to regular oatmeal. LOL

    I think I've seen it with regular skim milk.

    What was your calorie total, with add ins, btw?

    As is, I came up with 164 calories. I added a banana and Splenda, so my total would have been about 250. Today, I just had it plain with sweetner....it was still really good.
