There's nothing really unhealthy about that... Well, ok, I would at least use fat free skim milk of some sort. It's hard to recommend what sort of nutrient breakdown you want without knowing your full training routine.. but do this and you will probably solve your problem with oats sitting at the bottom

1 scoop whey
2 cups water
1 banana (4oz or so..)
1/2 cup oats

The extra water and the banana will help the oats blend. Otherwise just try letting them sit in the water/milk combo you use for a while prior to blending it. The banana also saves it from tasting watered down.

Whatever you do, I would get the oatmeal back in there. Good carbs to start the day with

Looks ok, maybe oat bran instead of the oats?

I notice Trouble mentioned a relation between milk and acid reflux in a thread so I???ve been using soy milk lately with good results. After removing all milk from my diet my AR is gone. I do see that if I drink too much soy milk it does cause a little gas issue. My shake mix is close to yours and what is suggested by IainDaniel and drew_c. This is part of my standard pre-workout routine.

My cardio is limited to 25 min???s on the tread-mill every other day. Mostly I just lift and do MMA training for fitness. I am lucky metabolism wise in that I don't gain fat so much allowing me the freedom of soy milk and sometimes ice-cream instead of ice

2 scoops whey ??? I buy it in bilk at the local grocer
1 cup SOY milk
1 cup frozen fruit of some kind ??? it varies but always the kind without heavy syrup
1 scoop of whole ground flaxseed ??? only twice a week for me
1 scoop of oat bran ... again in bulk from my local HEB
A hand full of ice cubes
Banana thrown in the blender in the last 10 seconds so it???s chunky

isnt oat bran the same like texture as oats

 

[tucker01]

no. it is alot finer, it is the hull of the oats.

 

[BoneCrusher]

Mixes much more easily.

I'd stick some more carbs in! I don't know what your current goals are so it is hard to say.

 

[dontsurfonmytur]

my goals are basically getting more athletic and wouldnt mind some muscle mass. My diet is in check if i have to cut weight for a grappling tournament, but if i dont have to cut weight, i will most liekly indulge 2-3 times a week.

 

[dontsurfonmytur]

i realy wish i had time to eat a regular food meal, but because i wake up early for school i dont, which is the biggest reason i cant wait for scool to end.

I'd definitely put more carbohydrates in if that is the case! Especially if it is your morning breakfast shake. Naturally, your glycogen stores are the lowest after waking up, so that is when your body really needs replenishment. Carbs are the preferred source of glucose(energy) by the body and brain. Increased carbs will help you to preserve and increase LBM. Plus they really help out as an energy souce when you involve yourself most physical activity. Carbs rock.
