It's too f*n hot to eat oatmeal!!!

Just a rant, I love oatmeal, but I have no central AC, so my kitchen is sweltering and the last thing I want to eat is a hot bowl of oatmeal.

And cold oatmeal sucks!

Have you tried the cook in one minute quaker oats blended with ice and protein powder? very good and filling.

how about semi-warm oatmeal with a COLD glass of skim milk or soymilk? maybe sprinkle some berries in it to offset some of the heat? blueberries are my favorite

just pour the oatmeal in water or milk and drink it up... thats what I do every once in a while. It isn't as bad as it sounds.

raw oats in bowl with milk ,add sultanas or something for flavour ( sultanas might be called raisins in US) I've been having that for agers

There are some good creative ways to eat oatmeal in shakes in the nutrition section. I think your right hot weather hot oatmeal would not mix.

Oatmeal cookie?

Give cold oatmeal another chance! It's awesome!

I make mine overnight. I use 1 part oatmeal [i.e. 1/3c oats] to two parts liquid [1/3c yogurt AND 1/3c soymilk or just straight up 2/3c soymilk], Stir it all together and stick it in the fridge overnight. When I get up in the morning, it just needs to be stirred a bit, maybe add a tiny bit more liquid and then I add my mix-ins and chow down. I usually add a flavored whey protein [like Banana or Cookies & Cream], some ground flaxseed, chopped almonds, berries, and cottage cheese. If it's a treat kind of day I add whipped cream or SF Chocolate syrup. The Mix-In possibilities are endless!

Throw it into a coffee grinder and in with the protein shake.

How I like summer oats: Raw and soaked overnight in OJ in the fridge... some raisins mixed in plump up nicely... and some chopped nuts give it a great texture. The refreshing OJ flavor makes it very different from the hot cuddy oats of winter.

I agree! Cold oatmeal might not be good, but chilled oatmeal is awesome! You don't even have to cook it. Just soak it overnight. Throw some frozen berries in there.
