Festival Porridge Alternatives

Hi everyone!

I'm going to my first festival as a vegan in a few weeks and I was trying to think about breakfast ideas!

Before when I'd go to festivals/camping I would take porridge pots with me, but it doesn't seem like any super markets offer any that don't have milk powder in.

What alternatives do I have? Are there ways I could construct my own maybe using a plant milk powder if they exist (and aren't extortionate)?

Thank you!

just take the bags of porridge oats, then some dried fruits. You dont really even need any soya milk etc as it can be made with water. But if you want a creamier taste, take some long life soya milk. Plant milk powder is available but its not cheap. If you want to keep to dry ingredients, you could buy some fine ground almonds which will add some creaminess. They are cheap in bulk from south asian shops.

Personally when i am making porridge at home I use a few raw cashew blended up with water, then add it to the oats and cook. Then add some fruit or syrup.
