I am a HUGE consumer of Biotest products – I usually have at least 3 jugs of Metabolic Drive, as well as Surge and HOT-ROX in my house, however… I usually use something other than Metabolic Drive powder to mix in my morning oatmeal. I don’t know if any of you have tried it, but, unfortunately, Metablic Drive just tastes… funny in oatmeal.
I have been using Extreme Whey by World Wide Protein in my oatmeal for about 6 months. But my local store looks like its discontinuing it, so I’m kinda shopping around for other alternatives. Extreme Whey blended really well in my oatmeal and though I despise the taste of it in a shake, it was wonderful in Oatmeal.
So, after all that expository info to prevent any possible Biotest backlash ;)… I ask ya’ll… what protein do you use (if any) to mix with oats?
I eat my Metabolic Drive in oatmeal but also add in some fruit…usually blueberries. You could also add in some sort of extract. I find almond oil to be very good! It also seems to mix better with the coarser milled varieties…steel cut, scottish cut etc…

Yeah, I always add berries and a little bit of splenda to my oats as well. I guess I can try Metabolic Drive again. I really just did not like the taste of it when I tried it in the Oatmeal a few months back.

Try honey instead of splenda. It has natural antioxidants.

I second this. I highly recommend mixing banana metabolic drive into your milk/water in a seperate shaker cup, and then pouring that into your oatmeal.
Add a little splenda and some cinnamon, verrrrrrrrry good.
I’ll highlight the steel-cut oats that someone else mentioned. I throw a few of them in with the regular old-fashioned and it really improves the mouth feel.
I’m not a big fan of orange, but the rest of the Metabolic Drive flavors I’ve tried are tasty with oatmeal. Of course, I’m not wide awake at that time of day either.

Second this. Mixing tends to make a concrete type mess for me. I usually don’t mind, even like, the taste of protein powder, but when it gets heated up it tastes awful.

Yes. The Banana tastes wonderful in oatmeal. I add different things to the protein powder/oatmeal mixture. Unsweetened coconut that I have oven-browned and stored in airtight containers, chopped up banana, chopped fresh strawberries, raisins, cinnamon, splenda, 1/2 tsp. cocoa powder, sometimes a teaspoon of butter.

Mix the protein in after you’ve cooked your oatmeal. Definetely tastes different than actually cooking the protein powder. I use Vanilla Metabolic Drive in my oatmeal every morning. FREAKING wake up looking forward to it.
I don’t use Metabolic Drive, but I do cook my oatmeal 1st- then mix powder with milk and add to oatmeal.
Sometimes I use berries or sometimes I stir in pnt butter to cooked oatmeal, then add chocolate protein!!

Yes! Mix it AFTER cooking the oats! That makes a huuuuge difference.

Agreed, the powder goes in after the oatmeal is cooked. If it’s still too thick, you didn’t use enough water.

Absolutely correct here. The heat makes it like jelly. Make the oatmeal first, a little wet, then as it’s cooling mix in the Metabolic Drive. I like the Vanilla in mine.
