    Adding oat to a post workout shake any bad?

    from what i know post workout shake are suppose to be drinked as soon as you finish workout when protein absoption is at it's best beside to avoid catabolic state, but i wanted to add 1 cup oat to it but idk since this is a compelx carb which is not absorbed that quick if this willl slow down the whole digestion of the whey protein and the simpler carbs on it or so? making me go catabolic anyways or not absorbing the nutritient fast enough?

    Don't worry about all of this ^^^. Oats are a great source of carbs PWO (complex is the way to go IMO anyway), dump em in your shake, mix, chew, gtg.

    Would You say a PWO, Whey protein & Oats & Little bit of lecuine. Would this be ok as a PWO.

    How would this be different to a proper PWO?

    I think this would be excellent PWO. No need for the additional leucine though IMO. If you want the extra punch, take a full spectrum BCAA/EAA supplement like Purple Wraath by Controlled Labs.

    gbrice75, what do you think of taking raw milk PWO (skim the fat to around or less than 1 percent fat) along with a protein powder?

    Depends on a few things IMO. Current body composition, current goal, and how well the individual handles dairy (some people can't handle it and get bloating, gas, etc).

    Personally, I LOVE milk and could drink a gallon/day, easily. However, it's way too high in sugar vs. the amount of protein per serving, so I stay away from it on a strict cut. On a add mass type of diet, i'd probably incorporate a bit - but even then would only do it around my workout window.
