I got this idea from one of my favorite food blogs, Vegan Lunchbox. And it's one of those "why didn't I think of that," simple awesome ideas. Because I like variety, I separated my instant oats into three containers. Each one got a nice scoop of ground flax and dried fruits and nuts.
Pear, raisin, walnuts, cinnamon & sugar
Strawberry (freeze-dried), blueberry (dried) & almonds
Cranberry & almond
Now when I get my lunch together for work, I scoop about 1/2 a cup of one of the mixtures into a snack-sized zip-top baggie and take it with me. It's a great breakfast or a filling mid-afternoon snack. And I haven't done the math, but probably cheaper than the packets. And less stuff I don't want.

That's a pretty good idea. Do you add milk to it and nuke then?
