M.'s dairy-free/higher protein/low sugar alternate:
 
Instant Oatmeal – S. Foutz 
 
2 tsp salt                                                   2 tsp nutmeg 
4 ½ - 9 cups vanilla protein powder         2-3 Tbsp cinnamon                                         

3 ½ cups wheat germ 
2 Tbsp powdered vanilla                         

27 cups quick oats (or regular oats pulsed in blender or food processor) 
 
Mix well and keep in sealed container (I usually freeze most of it).  To use, put ½ cup in bowl with 1/3 c.(ish) water and nuke for 1.5 minutes. Makes 70-80 servings (½ cup each).  Add fresh/dried/frozen fruit or nuts at time of serving.  Can also add coconut cream for added fat after cooking.  This is great for travel too. It's very low sugar (just the protein powder) but add some fruit or honey and it's perfect.
