Well, since it’s a staple of most of my training diets, and probably the staple of a lot of others as well, I thought we might as well share recipes on how everyone makes their oats tasty and with texture.
My main prep:
1 cup oats
1 activia yogurt - from favorite to least favorite flavors: vanilla, raspberry, blueberry, then strawberry (adds both taste, texture, and some decently good calories, although if you don’t mix the activia well, the oats end up feeling dry)
and you?
1 cup of oats, 1 cup of skim milk, 1 cup of water. Cook for a few mins. 1-1.5 tbl spoons of honey.
I’ll go for days chewing a spoonful of oats, walnuts and raisins, washing it all down with water. That being said I don’t need much and try not to get into the habit of trying to make things that shouldnt taste great, taste great, when I get into that mode I start adding slices of cheesecake to my post workout shake. That being said, the above mixture is pretty good when cooked. Just cook the oats in milk and add the walnuts and raisins, you’ve got simple carbs and fat, makes anything go down pretty easily.
Ye it’s it a pretty coll mix, i let it cool for 5 mins and i quite enjoy it. Keeps me full for a while plus it helps me crap which is always good.
Raw in a blender with milk, whey, frozen berries, eggs, peanut butter, olive oil and ice.
1 cup oats and 1 cup Calorie Countdown chocolate milk (greatest product ever). Delicious
I cook 1/2 cup oats in 1 cup whole milk, add 1/3 cup applesauce in the middle of cooking. I then add Grow! Whey, lots of cinammon, some nutmeg, and and some ginger powder.
Cook quick oats. Add cinamon, berry flavour intensified flavouring system and 2 tbsp natty peanut butter. Wow.
Your guys’ preps sounds way better than my bs oats. F*ck me.
i like mixing em raw in greek yogurt… same basic idea as yours. i usually add some vanilla protein powder too.
Nuke the oats in the microwave with 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 water, then add some variety of chocolate flavored protein power. Metabolic Drive tastes good with it, but I found the chocolate flavor to be a bit weak with oatmeal. Vanilla MD seems to have much stronger flavor mixed in with the oats for some reason.
Saturate with olive oil, add walnuts, bake at 325 for 12 mins. Let cool, sprinkle cinnamon and add dried cranberrys. Deeelish.
Cook old-fashioned oats in water (microwave)
Stir in frozen blueberries (to help cook oatmeal slightly)
Add Metabolic Drive Vanilla
Smells like warm blueberry muffins and tastes better.

This.
1 cup oats
About 4 TBS of peanut butter or so
1 1/2 cup water
Microwave for 2 minutes, stir the peanut butter in, add a little more water and keep stirring, cut up 2 bananas and finish stirring. Sprinkle a little cinnamon on there as well. Glorious.
I like buying oat flour and making whey+oat+PB brownies.

I just tried this except I used Nutella instead of peanut butter and it is pretty damn good.
Actually, the raw in a blender idea is great if you are in a hurry, or for the ultimate PWO shake. Put 1/2 cup quick oats dry in a blender - blend until it is a fine powder - then add milk, protien powder, and your choice of fruit and blend until creamy. Great way to drink your breakfast too.
