This is a hybrid of People Chow and Chewable Chow. I find the mix of oats and corn to be quite tasty. Using the Combat Powder available at Costco is quite cost effective and the Cookies 'n' Cream flavor likely contributes a lot to the flavor.

The rolled oats can be ground using a blender or food processor for a few minutes to make a semi-coarse oat flour. The daily multivitamin should be ground to a powder and thrown into the mix for maximal absorption. The only additional supplement is the Kirkland Calcium Chews, which I think tastes exactly like tootsie rolls, so it's a nice midday snack.

A single batch of this makes ~4 cups for a 2000 kcal dietary intake, so 1+1/3 cup for a single meal or 2/3 cup for a snack portion. For smaller or dieting folk, a 1500 kcal diet would use 3 cups out of the batch. I use a 1:1 ratio of powder to water, but my girlfriend likes a little more water in hers. I like mine room temp, and she likes hers chilled overnight. I've experimented in adding yogurt, instant coffee, spiced ground chocolate, and to be honest, I prefer it without any additional flavors, but it's nice to have the occasional change.
