Pseudonym Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Have a look at the packet. I'd be surprised if it doesn't have any cooking instructions.The easiest way is to turn them into porridge. Add salt, and water/milk - about twice as much liquid as oats is a good starting point. If you dont get the consistency quite right the first time, just stir in more water as you go till it looks ok. Cook either on the stove (stirring regularly) or in the microwave until the oats have absorbed the liquid. If you're not cutting, add sugar or sultanas. Eat. Enjoy.Note: Some people add eggs or egg whites to the mix for extra protein. This thickens the mixture up a bit more, so you'lll want to add extra liquid if you try this. Other people add protein powder. In my experience, it's best to let the porridge cool slightly before adding the powder, as it goes funny when cooked.

Brad Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Yep I tried the protein powder in oats once - just made it really bad - now I stick to a bowl of oats and a shake seperatly - much nicer that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 My usual breakfast is 100g of oats and 300ml of green top milk. I use plain old oats - whatever's the best value at the time. Put it in a small pot and bring to the boil. Turn the heat down and cook for a couple of minutes and add a bit of honey or dates or a banana. I have the whey powder separately because the whey I use doesn't taste all that nice with the oats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ismall Posted January 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 so cutting you add water to the oats. for bulking you add honey and milk to the oats am i right. its very hard to eat it plain, i founding puting fruit salad cans in it taste a lot better.

Pseudonym Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Sounds good. Of course, some really strict bodybuilders would say no to the honey and fruit even while bulking. I say it's good to indulge a little! :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazyone Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Man I love breakfast...1/2 cup oats + 1 cup water into the microwave for about 1.5-2mins Stir then add 1 or 2 scoops protein powder.**More oats = more water neededVOILA! All done.Sometimes I add blueberries or substitute the water for skim milk. Sometimes I even skip the microwave altogether and just eat the oats as they are + skim milk + protein powder... its still nice.**NOTE: Unless you've got your timing down to a T (or a really deep bowl), keep an eye on the porridge while its warming up... cleaning out the insides of a microwave covered in oats SUCKS :madman: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 cleaning out the insides of a microwave covered in oats SUCKS :madman:Hell yeah! Especially if you've used milk instead of water - the porridge seems particularly volatile then! :grin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTLKATO Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 I add 3 scoops of vanilla ripped factors to 1cup of oats, once cooked I put into a bowl to cool before stirring the powder in one scoop at a time. Have had no problems with powder clumping 2gether, i dont use milk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laver Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 I dont like porriage without milk, and Im not having milk at the moment, so I just put them straight into my protein shake, then either drink them or use a spoon to eat them out, cold and raw, really isnt bad at all.

teamfatboy Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 I dont like porriage without milk, and Im not having milk at the moment, so I just put them straight into my protein shake, then either drink them or use a spoon to eat them out, cold and raw, really isnt bad at all.Yep, I never got used to hot breakfasts so I throw my 3/4 cup of plain old wholegrain rolled oats into a water-based single-scoop shake, let 'em stand for a bit, then chow down. Mind you, current diet has no oats, no milk, so I actually miss them... Dunno about some of the more fancy-schmancy oats mixes and porridges, i figure the less processed the better. Views?

samthekiwiman Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 :pfft: cooking the old way, put a small 1 cup of water in a pot, bring to the boil (as the cooks say) put the amount of oats you think you are going to eat into a plate put enough water in it to get it sloppy then put it into the water and trun down the heat so it' simmering should only take about 3 to 5 mins but stur it all the time.
