Low GI carbs mix with protein powder, a little natty peanut butter and berries and you got a healthy breakfast

I was eating oatmeal first thing everyday during my 14wk conditioning. a lil coconut milk, honey, and cinnamon,.. maybe pecans. some peanut butter, and oatmeal, in a protein shake was a great weight gainer for too back in the day.

MTMED, I always throw in Oats into my protein shake. I filled up an empty Protein Jug with oats and when I fix myself a Protein shake, mostly Post workout, I use the oats . Like the texture and It adds to the calories which is something Ive always liked .

hell yeah, when i was working long ass hours and would be short on time, i did that with shakes and i even did it with whole protein meals as well. i would scarf down my protein whatever it was and then just add water to a shaker full of oats and drink them. very time efficient. you can always toss some splenda and cinnamon in there with the water to tasty it up if need be.
