Has anyone made porridge using a protein powder with the milk and cooked in the microwave? Do you lose any nutrients?

Any nutrient loss would be minimal... and it wouldn't be the protein.1

Add a bit more water then add the protein powder in after it's out of the microwave.3

It's easier and better imo to have the protein powder separately in your shaker bottle or whatever with water or milk, while your porridge/oatmeal is cooking the way you normally do it.1

Put the powder in after the porrage comes out of the microwave. You want the porrage to be a little thinner so the consistency is correct after adding the powder.
This is my morning ritual1 -
My typical breakfast (5-6 of 7 days/wk) is old fashioned rolled oats, dried nutritional yeast, plain unflavored whey powder (sometimes pea protein powder if we have it on hand) in either plain water or dairy milk, either plain or with blueberries, and occasionally a leftover yolk from my wife's eggwhite-ish omelettes when she makes one. I well mix the dry items, add the liquid, mix, then fruit and/or yolk plopped in last. Everything I've read, multiple sources, says the microwave doesn't reduce these items' nutrition, and in fact may preserve it more than other cooking methods. I don't seem to be suffering. This may seem like a wierd concoction, but I consider it my "daily base" upon which I can get creative for lunch and dinner. I don't get bored with the repetition, probably because I am creative with the rest of the day. And I don't microwave in plastic.1

I don't believe there is a "best protein powder". It will come down to what your goals are as to which one you buy.
I'm trying to maintain a calorie deficit at the moment so I buy the vanilla whey protein powder from MyProtein which is pretty low in calories - mixed with skimmed milk its a decent hit of protein. I could get a low calorie Whey protein powder from anywhere really, I just find myprotein is convenient and reasonably priced to buy from!
The bags that are branded with a chocolate company (snickers/mars etc) etc tend to be higher calories and a bit more expensive - perfect for people who are bulking and have some extra cash!0 -

Personally I just deal with Optimum Nutrition products since they are US made and they are their own manufacturer using raw materials from US stock.

^ ditto for Optimum Nutrition products.
As for oatmeal, I'll mix ONutrition vanilla ice cream and PB2 in a shaker cup and add it as the liquid to either a low sugar instant or just plain instant oats for my oatmeal. For 2 packets of instant I use 10 oz of water, 1 scoop of powder, and about 1.5 servings of PB2. I'll use a little more of the PB2 on plain oats.0 -
