adding oats to shake - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

**robdog** · 13-04-2004, 03:23 PM

think this is the right forum but would it be ok to add porridge oats to my morning shake instead of having to eat a bowl. i have heard of oats being added to drinks but im not sure if you lose any nutritional value etc.

No problem with that at all mate. Its a great way to get extra k/cals and fibre into your MRP.

On a related note, if anybody uses Reflex Instant Whey try mixing that with oats and leave it for a few mins .. the digestive enzymes in the Reflex Whey practically dissolve the oats .. its very cool

do you rekon a cup of oats would be ok mixed with say 500ml of milk then a scoop of protein powder or is it just a case of trial and error?

If it is the same oats as here 5 minute (quaker) it is 25 grams for 1/2 cup of oats. If you are going to use a whole cup then I would add at least 2 scoops of protein maybe more like 2.5 scoops and toss in some flax seed oil. Make that a good nutritious meal. Covers all your bases too.

**robdog** · 14-04-2004, 02:34 PM

i tried it this morning and it was nice. i blended them though and nearly choked on all the little bits though so ill try not blending them like panthro said.

i was meant to have some steak and brown rice this afternoon but as i was dishing up the steak i realised i had forgoten to put the rice on(i know dozy tw*t). anyway i had a mug of oats in milk for carbs with the steak and realy enjoyed it. i found it was better after it had stood for a while because the oats were softer. this will definately be a staple part of my diet now.

Panthro · 14-04-2004, 09:54 PM

they are really nice like that! I do it all the time. although, as im on the go, its usually with water, but as long as you've got a bit of sweetner, they are great! mmm, might have a small portion now, im starving!
