Is it ok to add whey protein to cooked oatmeal?

[eidolon]

Hi guys, I was wondering if it's a good idea to mix a scoop of whey protein into a bowl of cooked oatmeal. Will the heat have any effect on the protein?

 

[Jodi]

It fine, I cook with protein all the time.

I hear of people doing it all the time, mind you I never could get it right.... I prefer them without anyways

 

[eidolon]

Great, thanks alot.

To be safe, add it to the oatmeal after cooking

 

[MeLo]

how does it taste like?

 

[JerseyDevil]

I sometimes add a scoop of Optimum Nutrition's chocolate flavored whey to a bowl of oatmeal and add a bit of skim milk. Tastes like chocolate oatmeal.

I agree with Jersey, the Choc ON and oats taste great!

 

[MeLo]

i only have vanilla ON flavour.. and it's a 5lb tub. the store that i bought it from has only this flavour left. will it mess up the taste?

i have a bowl of oats and a whey shake to wash em down... i suppose you could mix them, i don't really see the point, at the end of the day its personal prefrence

??? Why? does it have a low flash point or something?

 

[derekisdman]

Yeah I would wait till after the oatmeal was cooked to add the protein too.

If you add the protein before cooking you may damage it in the cooking process. Its safer to add it afterwards. Or just do what I do and add raw oats to my protein shake heh.
