Absolutely fine, mix away.

That's what happens in your stomach anyway! The heat won't make the protein any less bioavailable.

To sweeten it, try adding:

Honey, dried fruits (raisins, sultanas, cranberries, cherries, prunes etc.), splenda or any other sweetner, brown sugar, molasses, golden syrup, cinnamon, vanilla extract, fresh fruit, fruit juice, milkshake powder (nesquik)

Here's my favourite recipe (requires soaking overnight):

1 cup (dry) porridge oats
50g raisins (or dried cherries if I'm feeling flush!)
2.5 cups cold water
2 teaspoons honey
25g almonds or walnuts
4 teaspoons of cinnamon

Mix the dry porridge oats and raisins together with the cold water and leave overnight to soak (I do this before bed).

In the morning, cook the porridge on full blast for 4 minutes (mix at half way).

When cooked, dump the 2 teaspoons of honey, nuts and cinnamon on top and mix in thoroughly.

Eat with your side of eggs or protein shake
