Yes, PP can turn into icky, grainy glop in oatmeal. Here's how I do it: measure 40 grams old fashioned oats into a large bowl, add about 7/8 cup water and microwave for 2 minutes. Take bowl out of mic. and add 70-100 grams frozen blueberries. Microwave for 1 minute. Take bowl out of mic. and let sit for a minute or two before adding my 30 g. of protein powder.
I think the key is to let anything hot, cool just a bit or the PP will glob up when added. Try it again! I like the vanilla PP and I don't even use milk, just water.
Kudos for being able to stick to your plan and bypass the doughnut! I usually say something like, "Oh my gosh, it looks SO good, but I'm on a very strict diet this week! Maybe I can eat some next time." People have figured out that I don't always participate in the nom fest (a.k.a. "she eats healthy").
