I'm embarassed to ask....

**lauren921** · 03-02-2009, 06:21 AM

I'm probably the only person who doesn't know the answer to this

I see that a lot of you add protein powder to oatmeal, but do you add it before you cook it or after? Don't laugh at me please

aneas · 03-02-2009, 06:23 AM

I add it after. No one here will laugh at you. Well maybe some of the older guys here like Enigma might but hey.......

hahahahahahahaha

I don't know I have never done it. but thats not a bad idea.

**Hibiscus09** · 03-02-2009, 06:27 AM

Don't be embarrassed Lauren.

I've seen it done both ways. I think it's disgusting both ways.

I just have a shake and eat some oatmeal if I'm going to have that. For contest prep, I would mix dry oats in with the protein shake in a blender and texture was gritty -- blech!

Another reason I prefer to eat the oatmeal on the side because it feels like I'm getting food and a shake.

**dbfry** · 03-02-2009, 06:44 AM

I add mine after.

1/2 cup of rolled oats, 1/2 cup of water, microwave for about 2 min.
1 scoop of Muscle Milk light, vanilla.
1 tspn of polaner all fruit, black cherry.

**Do_Somethin** · 03-02-2009, 06:45 AM

I don't cook it. I put them both in a Magic Bullet, mix, and drink.

**lauren921** · 03-02-2009, 06:56 AM

Thanks for all the responses...and thanks for not laughing!

yeah me too. It doesn't matter whether you eat it combined or separate because it all ends up in the same place. I say you do whichever way you like it best. Who knows, maybe you have just gotten sick of oatmeal and want to mix it up...maybe you just want less dirty dishes...

**lauren921** · 03-02-2009, 07:14 AM

I've been told that I don't eat enough and I think it's caused me to put on a few pounds. I'm tracking diligently and am always in a deficit, so it must be the low calories or the depo. Anyway, I'm trying to increase my calories and I know real food is best, but protein is the quickest and easiet for now.

**unclemick** · 03-02-2009, 07:26 AM

I've ben using Cytosport whey both chocolate and vanilla. I mix it in after it's cooked. The chocolate is pretty good but the vanilla has been pretty hard to choke down. I've found that I actually like the taste and don't have to use anything to sweeten it up if I put the whey in afterwards.

**gbg** · 03-02-2009, 07:51 AM

After, you can add it to your protein shake uncooked too.

**antonbrn** · 03-02-2009, 07:51 AM

I take a bowl of uncooked oatmeal, add skim milk, protein powder, mix and eat. However, I like the suggestion of drinking the pp shake and eating the oatmeal seperately.

**egyption T** · 03-02-2009, 07:55 AM

u can add it 2 it dry,....oat+whey+water or skinmilk..in ur shaker and just drink it

Weird cravings

just sayin.

**jwsarge23** · 03-02-2009, 11:16 AM

I know they don't suggest adding baby formula prior to microwaving for fear of doing something weird to the 'building blocks of nutrition'...so I run safe by adding it after.

Then I cool it down by adding 1 can tuna and some cod liver oil.

**lauren921** · 03-02-2009, 02:54 PM

I've always mixed it with water or milk, but I know a lot of people use it in oatmeal, oatbran, baking mixes, etc so I was just wondering if it effected the cooking process. Thanks so much for the help!

**BASE772** · 03-02-2009, 03:15 PM

I put my uncooked oatmeal in my coffee grinder before I put it in the blender. Works pretty good.
