I use wholegrain rolled oats and cover with water and microwave for three minutes. My GC say I make the best porridge, they like theirs with milk and raw honey. One GS eats it for breakfast every single morning and it a favourite snack for all of them before bedtime if they are still hungry. After I read that oats are rich in melatonin which relaxes the body and helps make you sleepy, I upped the oats as GC's bedtime snack when they stay overnight. 
I have about two dessertspoons of oats in my smoothie every morning with a water, almonds, a banana and seeds. I am not usually hungry until lunchtime.
