How exactly do you drink oats?

[GiovanniR]

I just bought Oatmeal and am Wondering how you drink it...?

Wont it cut your throat on the way down?

[The Director]

Blender. Mix it up with whey, or just toss it in your cottage cheese, splenda, and eat up like pudding.

[GiovanniR]

Damn... I was hopping I could dump the packets in my Whey drink and drink it like that.

:P

[Richie_Awesome]

Blender with protein drink.

You can also use a coffee grinder, but I've never tried that.

[GiovanniR]

If you don't have either a blender or coffee grinder?

Oats revolution lives on!



Lately there has been a lot of discussion on the easiest/quickest way to eat oats. There's also been a lot of talk on how to add more calories to your diet. Well, grinding steel cut oats up in a coffee grinder and throwing them in a protein shake is by far the easiest way to slam them down and not to mention you can make some extremely affordable weight gainer shakes that are very healthy.

Step 1:
Buy a coffee grinder. They are cheap and you can buy them almost anywhere. I bought one at Target but anyplace like Walmart will have them. Here's an example:

Step 2:
Go to this website and use the store locator to find a retailer close to you to purchase this product. This stuff is gold. 560 calories per cup and the store by my house sells it for .99 cents a pound!

Step 3:
Grind oats up with coffee grinder and throw them in your favorite shake. If they oats are took thick in your shake just add more milk/water. I strongly recommend 8oz of liquid to every 1/4 cup of oats. Obviously you will need more milk/water if you add more ingredients like peanut butter or fruit.

EVERY day I have serveral of the following shakes.

cheap, quick, easy to prepare

16oz ice cold skim milk
1/2 cup ground steel cut oats
1 scoop of ON whey (chocolate)

53 grams of protein
7 grams of fat.

Obviously you can experiment with whatever you want to throw in there. Any fruits, peanut butter, etc etc. work perfectly. I like this because it takes me about 1 minute to make. Here's a couple other recipes you could try.

See what others have said:

1st of all, you sir, are a geinus. The steel cut oat weight gain shake could quite possibly be mankinds third great invention along with the wheel and fire.

i love this guy, almost as much as i love my oats

Tips:
- constantly shake these up in a shaker cup because the oats will settle at the bottom for quickly.
- always drink ice cold!
- if you can not find steel cut oats, old fashioned rolled oats will work. Just don't get any that are "quick" or have sugar. Rolled oats are good just not as calorie dense as the steel cut oats.

When u guys say blend it with ur protein drink/shake, u mean blend the oats into powdery form then mixed into protein drink, or blend with drink? Did that made any sense? lol

[Aussie_Jim]

I just throw half a cup of oats, scoop of whey, and half a cup of milk in a shaker, shake it up, eat with a spoon.

Is that suppose to taste nice? o.O

[Aussie_Jim]

Haha, depending on what brand of protein you use, it does. It tastes good with ON's choc mint, cookies + cream and also vanilla from my experience.

[KG89]

I microwave it with skim milk lol
