Oatmeal in Shake

Rocco32 · 09-08-2003, 01:28 PM

Gotta question here. I asked in my journal also, but haven't heard a response so I'll try here. I tried putting my oatmeal in my shake this morning. After blending it (40g protein, 3 frozen strawberries, 1 cup dry oatmeal) I drank most of the shake only to find most of the oatmeal had settled to the bottom of the blender. How do I stop that from happening?!?! It was pretty gross then.

SolidToTheCORE · 09-08-2003, 01:43 PM

I add flax or peanut butter. It will always settle at the bottom IMO try to make your shake thicker and I always swirl it right before I drink it ... (I also don't use quite that much oatmeal).

I have heard of people cooking it and adding it when it cools.
I have never done that before though.

Rocco32 · 09-08-2003, 01:53 PM

Thanks Solid, I'll try making it thicker and stirring it as I drink it. This morning I had to fill what was left (oatmeal) up with water and down it. I thought I was going to

. I put 1 tbsp of heavy whipping cream in now. Should I add PB in addition?

SolidToTheCORE · 09-08-2003, 02:14 PM

IMO, I would go with what you do already, don't add to it. Make it thicker and go from there.

Are you using a MRP or just Protein powder?

Rocco32 · 09-08-2003, 02:19 PM

Just protein powder since I get the carbs from the oatmeal. How do I make it thicker?

SolidToTheCORE · 09-08-2003, 02:30 PM

See that is why I don't use as much oatmeal, I use a MRP.

If your plan lets you eat bananna's try this shake.

1 Whole Bananna- (Chopped and Frozen)
1 Tbsp Peanut Butter
1 Cup Oatmeal
1 Scoop Protein or 40 grams
4 Ice Cubes

Start with the water or milk first add 8 oz put in all your items in. Your bender might freakout or not. Just add a little water or milk until you get the thickness you desire. If it is too much water and doesn't get thick enough add ice cubes.

Rocco32 · 09-08-2003, 02:45 PM

I'll try that tomorrow morning and let you know how it goes

Thanks.

SolidToTheCORE · 09-08-2003, 02:57 PM

No problem

Freeman · 09-08-2003, 03:03 PM

Solid's got a good idea with that shake. I don't freeze my bananas, but I bet it helps. Also, if, and only if your diet permits, try adding some honey. Nothing better than drinking a pb & banana sandwich w/ honey!

SolidToTheCORE · 09-08-2003, 03:07 PM

Yeah - It makes the shake creamy.

Rocco32 · 09-08-2003, 03:12 PM

That sounds good Freeman but I'm trying not to take in sugar except pwo. I'm bulking but trying to minimize fat as much as possible.

Freeman · 09-08-2003, 03:14 PM

ok, well that's why I said if your diet permits. I don't do it, just a suggestion

Rocco32 · 09-08-2003, 03:20 PM

I wish someone would tell me my diet did permit it!!

SolidToTheCORE · 09-08-2003, 03:24 PM

fuqit -- your diet permits it.

Rocco32 · 09-08-2003, 03:44 PM

I wish!

Tank316 · 09-08-2003, 03:47 PM

just go with less water/milk.

Freeman · 09-08-2003, 04:01 PM

Heya Tank! Where have you been?

Hey Solid, Pro-Lab makes a GREAT cinnamon oatmeal MRP. 40g protein (best quality, micellar caesin I think) 40g carbs from oats, brown rice, barley, and 8g fat. it tastes great...good for breakfast if you are running late and it tastes "breakfasty".

maniclion · 09-08-2003, 04:28 PM

I keep some of those medium size Gatorade bottles and keep my shakes in them. The large opening allows you to easily pour a shake from the blender. I make a days worth and store them in the fridge at work. About 30 minutes before I drink it I shake it vigorously and put it in the freezer. When I take it out its nice and frosty, I shake it again and drink a little. I continue the shake and drink process till its gone them I add a little water, shake it up and get the last little bit. I take the bottles home, boil them and reuse them the next day. Try adding a graham cracker and cinnamon it tastes pretty good that way.

One more thing, my blender has a super high setting called
Liquefy, it pulverizes everything even those little strawberry seeds so I usually have very little sediment in my shakes.

Freeman · 09-08-2003, 04:39 PM

that's actually a good idea..the gatorade bottles..I may try that soon...

Rocco32 · 09-08-2003, 05:59 PM

That is a good idea. I'll try that when my gatorade is gone. Thanks.

Rocco32 · 09-09-2003, 07:11 AM

I made my shake this morning. But PB in it, made it thicker, put it on liquify and then transfered it to a large Gatorade bottle. WORKED GREAT!!

Thanks everybody! The mystery of the oatmeal shake is now solved.

I ordered this product after reading the above and I have to say, this is easily the best tasting shake I've ever purchased. Thanks for the tip.

Rocco32 · 09-11-2003, 03:50 PM

Is there any sugar in there pepper?

Yes, 5 grams. THis is higher than any other shake I would buy, but I bought it for breakfast and the other carbs are supposedly "slow burning"

Rocco32 · 09-11-2003, 03:58 PM

It sounds really good, I just don't think I can handle that 5g.

	I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...
