For POST workout oatmeal is not the best choice. So I hope you mean to use malto for post. The idea behind the instant oatmeal was when you were looking for ways to make shakes. Instant oatmeal can be blended into a shake very easily. That would be good for pre-workout about 45 minutes prior. But remember they put a TON of raw sugar in the pre-flavored instant oatmeal. See if you can find "plain" or at least reduced sugar. If you don't plan on using it for a shake it has no advantage over regular oatmeal really except for quickness but in a dorm room since you can use the microwave it's prob the best choice.
