Buy quick oats there smaller oats. I put them in my shake and blend for awhile. drink it fast or yes they will sink to the bottom

drink your shake in a cup with a lid, that way you can keep shaking it. i forget what the dam things are called lol.

that horse food is a pain in the ass.
I take it with milk or with jogurt (if i take it).

if it bothers you that much throw them in a blender all at one time and store the "oat flour" then just add to your protein...after you shake let sit for a min shake again ...let sit a min and drink up....
(now someone will say oh but that will increase gi *L* yeah like 5 points maybe!)

i cook mine up... water and oats...
I add a bit of water and microwave it for 2 mins.
then i add sugar free jam to it to make it taste good

. That is my trick.

Drinking them is so much easier. It cant be that bad you do have to keep swirling your shaker so they dont end up at the bottom so when your finished your not left with soggy oats you dont want to finish Only way to go in my opinon.

coffee grinder works to.

**Joker111086** · 01-19-2009, 10:08 PM

well i use a blender lol but the cup only holds 20oz and 1 cup of oats seems added 2 1 cup of egg whites doesnt seem to work all that well lmaoo, 1/2 scoop protein in their 2 makes it taste like chocolate

And that right there is the best and easiest way. They grind into a fine powder the same as the protein powder. Swallows real easy !!

I just dump some quaker oats in a bowl pour water in until it covers the oats, microwave it (1 min for 1/2 cup or 1 1/2 for a cup) take it out put some splenda and cinamon in it, stir and eat/drink. (It gets pretty watery so I drink it out of the bowl.

**mike954** · 01-21-2009, 07:04 PM

i put the oats in the microwave than put it in the blender with ice water and shake powder and blend it up and drink cooking it first makes it go down alittle better i think

**anabolictonic** · 01-21-2009, 11:23 PM

yer i hate it wen u get the little gritty bits at the end u cant swallow makes me gag... would grinding them up really increase their GI? also i eat rolled oats. duno wat the differnece is between the types of oats which ones are the easiest to put in a shake?

**Knockout_Power** · 01-21-2009, 11:47 PM

Ive been trying this coffee grinder method for the last week and I love it. Half cup into my PWO shake and it even takes on the taste of the choco shake quite well. Dont know if its a placebo effect of trying something new, but an hour after the shake (right about time for the next meal) Im getting a real burst of energy.

Don't do it, it will increase the GI!

were they blended up really finely? If so, guess you are going to have to find some other carb source.

**Joker111086** · 01-23-2009, 10:28 AM

lol, found a new way just add boiling water, and cover it with a lid for 5 minutes and the steam cooks it 1 packet splenda and mmmmmm tastey oats! :P

**mousetraps** · 01-24-2009, 02:16 AM

I'm just used to doing the sip, shake it, sip, shake it, sip, shake it thing

**Joker111086** · 01-24-2009, 03:34 PM

quick oats are processed and have a higher GI, just fyi... in the morning it's not as big a deal, but it would promote fat storage in other meals during the day (not PWO)

**Knockout_Power** · 01-26-2009, 12:24 PM

Ive fount that if I mix them in "Pro Nos" protein shake they seem to stay suspended and dont settle to the bottom quickly. The other 2 brands I have are not as good, but the Pro Nos is a little thicker to start with, almost like a runny milkshake.
