    Nestle Nido is the bomb. You can find it at Walmart in the Hispanic section.

    +1 on Nido. Mix it with Carnation Instant Breakfast. Nido and CIB both can be a little touchy in cold weather. You may have to warm it up a bit unless you like drinking powder balls.

    Agree, Nido is all you need. All the flavor and all the fat

    I'm a coffee drinker and like it with cream (1/2 & 1/2) and sugar. On short section hikes, I've been known to take those little "moos" which are little individual containers of 1/2 & 1/2 for use in my coffee. They travel well inside my cook pot. Maybe those will work with your oatmeal?

    Nido is the answer. Since I do not regularly keep milk in the fridge, I have Nido in the pantry for general cooking uses. I like steel cut oats, and when preparing them I will put into the pan the 1/4 cup oats, 2 tablespoons Nido, raisins, cinnamon, and 1 cup of water. Works perfect.

    As already mentioned, Nido works best when disolved in warm water.

    Parmalot makes milk that does not need refrigeration - and not found in the dairy section but on the shelves somewhere. Heavy, yes but if you like milk that much it's a option.

    I used to use it in the bread machine when I had to set the timer for a long length of time. It worked so good that I do it all the time even when I'm making it right away.

    Be careful. Read the labels. Nido also comes in a non-fat variety.

    Nido if you can find it, or Carnation (powdered milk).

    Nido is often found in the Hispanic food section.

    Checked out my local Walmart last night. All they had was the Nido 1+ which is made with non-fat milk and various not good oils. Start the Kidlets early on a bad diet. Grumble. Grumble.

    NIDO is marketed to families in rural areas that do not have access to fresh milk. NIDO+ actually has about the same total fat as whole milk, less saturated fat, and about the same calories. To get shelf life they need to remove the milk fat and replace it with shelf stable fats.

    I would not say providing a whole milk substitute to young children that don't have access to fresh milk is starting them early on a bad diet. Is fresh milk better, yes, but NIDO+ is better than not having milk for young children. Even our fat conscious FDA recommends kids get 2 cups a day. Ever try to get a young child to drink fat free powered milk? I won't even drink it.
