I'm not really a fan of oatmeal and we have some that's just waiting to be eaten, so maybe that would be a good way to use it.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13963395707570608596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3987304731928669714.post-61382000430050404252011-01-10T13:29:49.247-08:002011-01-10T13:29:49.247-08:00Thanks for the tips, Mike!

Oatmeal is great for energy.Apryl DeLanceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13529934915334202033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3987304731928669714.post-23044904377169030302011-01-10T13:00:38.148-08:002011-01-10T13:00:38.148-08:00I realize this may be a bit more than you're a...I realize this may be a bit more than you're after, but here's one I used when I was trying to gain weight. (I'm one of those people who has fought being underweight most of my life.) In addition to whatever fruits and bodybuilding powder I was using (just plain whey, no additives), I added either yogurt or low-fat milk... and some quick-cook oatmeal. <i>I didn't cook the oatmeal, however</i> -- I just threw a quarter to three-quarters of a cup into the blender with everything else. The oatmeal/milk combination gives you lots of energy without a huge number of calories. (My smoothies typically had 700 calories, but about 300-400 of that was just whey powder.)<br /><br /><i>Two caveats:</i> Too much oatmeal makes the smoothie feel a bit gritty in your mouth, and some people don't react well to the oatmeal being uncooked. It's best to do a small test first, to make sure you won't get stomach cramps from it.<br /><br />Still, if you're going out on a strenuous workout, it's a good pre-workout source of energy. I found that if I waited an hour before starting my workout, I never had any problems at all.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11719298227225074496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3987304731928669714.post-52772413274634645262011-01-10T08:56:53.262-08:002011-01-10T08:56:53.262-08:00Yeah, the one I have listed is my default.

Some days I'll do a giant glass of orange/carrot and other days I'll throw celery, pears, or whatever else sounds good in there.Apryl DeLanceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13529934915334202033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3987304731928669714.post-36338660304242719562011-01-09T19:37:02.538-08:002011-01-09T19:37:02.538-08:00I make a smoothie every morning and usually only t...I make a smoothie every morning and usually only take a few sips and then I bring it with me as well. I'm going to try your juice recipe because I'm getting sick of my usual smoothie (orange juice, banana, cup of frozen berries, cup of spinach). I have been trying tons of new smoothie/juice recipes, but the one I mentioned is my default.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13963395707570608596noreply@blogger.com
