    Oat is so easy. And you can easily get organic, gluten free oats if that is important to you, plus you can make it when you need it - no store trip or disposable containers.

    You just need a blender/food processor and a milk bag (you can get away with almost anything but the milk bag removes the most silt, if you only have a strainer w large holes, let the milk sit and pour off the top gently, it will leave the silt)

    1. Add 2-3 cups of water and a pinch of salt to 1 cup quick oats. Immediately process it.
    2. Gently strain it thru bag.
    3. It keeps almost a week in fridge in a mason jar.

    NB: some people add oil or vanilla or a couple cashews - I like it plain, if you want more excitement, you can find recipes where they use other stuff, or just have fun experimenting!

    Also NB: the recipes I started with said that immediately processing and only gently straining will prevent any sliminess. I haven’t had that problem, so I don’t know if it’s because I do it that way or because I don’t have slimy oats?!?
