My standby post workout shake:
Dry oatmeal in a blender with vanilla Metabolic Drive and my favorite frozen fruit (like blueberries the most), water to texture.
I will be trying some of these options in the next couple weeks. For now I just use a little apple juice and let the oats soak it up. It makes them easy to eat and doesn’t taste horrible.

this sounds pretty gross but kinda awesome at the same time… What kind of portions are you using of this? is this a bulk up and get hugified type of shake?

No not gross at all. It tastes mostly like chocolate peanut butter shake unless you use a ton of berries. Banana is a good addition too to change up the flavor.
Lets see. My current mix is
12 oz milk
1-2 tbs extra light olive oil. I eyeball it.
1/3 cup of raw oats
A handful of frozen blueberries and raspberries. Or sometimes mixed berries. Or sometimes fresh…
A big wad of PB. Prob about 2tbs
60g of whey
5-6 ice cubes (essential btw)
3 eggs
Thats my breakfast everyday since I started a 9-5 internship. Keeps me full for hours. You can add more water or milk if that is too thick. It fills up 1.5 large dunkin donuts cups and takes me about 30 minuts to drink lol. I counted the calories once but I forgot what the number is. Somewehre around 1200 I think.

flavored whey is great, same with PB and if they whey is chocolate it goes awesome with PB in the oats.
The soupy texture kills me though. I get some cold water, cover the oats in it. soak for a minute or so then put it in a wire strainer and press it w/ my hand, loosen it up with a fork then microwave. Everyone says it’s odd, but whatever. Lets me eat more oats if needed too bc then it’s not the consistency of gravy.
Then you can put in whatever you like.
Apple sauce, stevia and cinnamon/nutmeg go good on it too. or just maple syrup on it.
Another trick I learned was toasting the oats on the stove in a saute pan, the bigger the better. let them get a little color and you should be able to smell them some. then add the water to it to get whatever consistency you want. Works best if you keep the flame on high.
Lastly, oatmeal pancakes aren’t bad either. just some sweetener and eggs mixed with the oats and whey if you want. eye ball the consistency. If you cook it too long it will be a hockey puck. Which isn’t really bad if you’re on the run.

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?[/quote]
Boil water.
Throw in oatmeal and cook it.
Add some berries or raisins and artificial sweetner.
