Hey Anna. It's the red container for this one!
Anna Hochstetler
Do you use the Red or Green can of gelatin?
Erin Carter
Hey Terri! You can definitely eat this throughout the week. It will firm up in the fridge due to the gelatin but I just re-heat it and add a little more coconut milk or water and it works just fine. I often make a big batch and then eat smaller portions throughout the week as snacks 🙂

Hi Erin. Quick question...can this be made and then eaten throughout a week? Or does it get too hard once it sits for a while? Seems like so much fibre and I am celiac and have UC but would like to try this in smaller servings. Thanks for the insights! Terri
Erin Carter
That makes me so happy to hear! Glad the kids enjoyed it 🙂

This went down brilliantly this morning with the kids and myself. Will be making this again........well the kids want it tomorrow for breakfast!! Tee hee thanks so much! Truly!
Erin Carter
Yay! I hope the kids like it! Would love to hear what you think 🙂
Redsnapperuk
Hi Erin, so looking forward to making this tomorrow for breakfast for me and the kids. We do miss porridge/oatmeal from time to time and this certainly ticks all the boxes for nourishing food for breakfast. Thanks for sharing 😀

Rachel that overnight coconut sounds amazing! Will have to try it 🙂 I love anything coconut
Rachel
Coconut! I was wondering about the oatmeal part... have you tried overnight coconut? Soak overnight in coconut milk and then blend. So tasty and creamy!
Erin Carter
Oh yes I ordered some from vitacost! I like them but they are a little different. Kind of like soft beef jerky. So not like a typical "bar" but the ingredients are super clean and safe which I like

I remember you saying you found EPIC bars, but I can't remember whether you ordered them or what. Are they good? I've been intrigued for ages, but haven't wanted to order in case I wasn't that into them, even though they sound seriously epic. Tell me more!
Erin Carter
Thanks Michele! Have fun on your ski trip. I hope you like the oatmeal 🙂
Michele Spring
Soooo excited for this one! We love our egg-free, grain-free "oatmeals" and this one looks absolutely delicious! Will definitely be trying it out this week, especially since we are going up to the mountains for an XC skiing trip and I will be wanting a warm cereal for breakfast!
