Noob oats question!

[partymonster975]

My post workout shake is ON's pro complex (chocolate) with a table spoon of peanut butter and a hand full of oats. The thing is, what kinda oats should I use or where can I get some. I was thinking just take some out of an oatmeal box, but someone said throwing cheerios in there will do the trick? Suggestions?

idk what kind of carbs are in that mix already(except for the oats) but postwrkout you need simple carbs....white bread, potato, gatorade...

o, my bad, I still am kinda noobish with diets so I'm doing the best I can. So complex carbs only before workout? What do you suggest I mix in, anything?

The fats in the PB slow down the absorption rate of the whey protein.

I guess I'll leave that out and throw the peanut butter in with my middle of the day plane whey protein shake, slowing down the absorption seems good there.
I guess I'll take the complex plain.
