The coffee grinder reduced it to a smooth powder, which would definitely work in the oatmeal. I added water to see what happens, and so far it's way too grainy/gritty to be pleasant eating. I'll see in a couple of hours; it might be the sort of thing you do overnight. I'd be satisfied with adding it as protein powder to the oatmeal, but wonder if that is really worthwhile. Maybe I should just buy protein powder and add it to the oatmeal... |

My standard backpacking recovery meal is a mixture of whey protein/rolled oats/dried coconut carried in a large zip lock bag.Just add to a cup,or whatever, with water and perhaps dried fruit and you have a quick meal for those long days when you get to camp tired at "hikers midnight". |

Not just for breakfast for me.I will often have a protein shake with various fruits/vegies/nuts/seeds/oatmeal etc. anytime of the day or night for as many as two or three of my multiple grazing style meals. |

I dried some more, and am going to try the coffee grinder this morning. A lot matters how thinly spread the yogurt was on the tray. Where it was very thin, it dries to a white flake that powders easily. But other parts are hard yellowish chunks. Those are the parts that don't powder and didn't reconstitute. I didn't have that with the plain Greek yogurt that I dried. I did have that problem with the Vanilla yogurt that I dried. Another possible way to get around tough pieces that don't grind well is to try grinding them frozen. Freezing may cause the pieces to become brittle and break up easier. |
