Anyone use this? Not really seen or heard it mentioned but seems perfect for an early AM ride. I have a batch from U.K. company MyProtein that’s 55g carbs/10g protein and is as easy to digest as a standard protein shake…

Haven’t heard of it, but the carb/protein proportions are similar to Weetabix - that’s my breakfast of choice if really need something before a workout. I’ve been eating it for years so I know my stomach can handle the fibre … ymmv :wink:

Most people just eat porridge…

I generally have porridge or a bagel but thought a shake might be quicker… Was fine to drink, but “moved about” in my stomach mid ride more than actual food. Might give it another go!

Supposedly, it’s the same as oat flour. Looks good as a quick pre workout meal replacement option.

Ingredient list looks like it might be cheaper to just buy quick oats and throw them in a blender. Could be a cheap way of trying it out without the full price tag (30 serving container of quick oats is $2 here - $6 for the 90 servings of some “oat powder” brands) Is there a difference?

I put regular oats in my post-ride shake - cheap and effective.

It looks like oat powder/flour is finer than you can grind with a blender so it just depends on one’s tolerance for grittiness in a shake. If you have a really good blender like a Vitamix you can try and make your own powder. If you have your oats already cooked and in the fridge, you can put half …

No, I guess it’s just the convenience The powder is still cheap compared to every other supplement so I will pay for the convenience I think!

Would love to hear what you think when you try it out! Might be a quick option. I’ve got a pretty good gut so normally just eat a bowl of oatmeal and drink 500ml of water 10-15mins before jumping on the trainer early am. I’d be interesting to know how this compares and if eat leaves your stomach “fu…

[image] AJS914: If you have your oats already cooked and in the fridge, you can put half a cup in your blender, and they should blend easily since they are soft. Or add water, blend and press it through the strainer and you have oatmilk that is smooth :slight_smile:

Just porridge would be quite bland IMHO. Putting in some fruits gives provides vitamins, taste and fast-acting sugars. I’d also add honey or maple syrup for even more carbs.
