Pack Dried Oatmeal for a Quick in-Flight Meal
Oatmeal is a versatile base for sweet and savory foods that are easy to prepare and satisfying. Take your instant oatmeal and your favorite toppings with you to eat on the plane, all you need to add is hot water.
Instant dry oatmeal and most toppings will go through security , and then when you’re on the plane, just ask the crew member for some hot water and you’ll have a simple meal in flight. Here are some suggested fillings:
- Brown sugar
- Dried fruit
- Nuts
- Peanut butter
- Flax-seed
- Fried vegetables
- Cheese
Some you’ll want to store separately from the oatmeal, and some can be blended together in a plastic bag or airtight container for easy transport. One of the benefits of keeping the fillings separate is that if one doesn’t go through the security system, you can throw it away without sacrificing all of your food.
