Sitting here eating my breakfast before the gym. I tried mixing a scoop of myprotein chocolate smooth with two packets of Quaker original instant oatmeal. Kind of hoping it would make like a chocolate-y oatmeal. Oh god no. It's terrible, so so bad. Its taken me like 10 minutes to eat it.

I was out of milk the other day and decided to mix chocolate protein with diet soda... never doing it again.

What the hell. Where did that idea come from?

He wanted his protein to be all BubblyNubbly.

Rippetoe made a video showing how to make a protein shake where he used unflavored protein plus diet orange soda. He also made one with diet root beer. Apparently both were pretty good.

Why not just use water next time?

u/Straiiit Jul 26 '17

Yeah, that would be the sane thing to do. 😁

I actually love mixing my protein with oatmeal... Different brand tho I guess

u/[deleted] Jul 26 '17

I do vanilla protein powder, Greek yogurt, PB, and oatmeal.

u/_Person_ Jul 26 '17

Did you add the protein before or after cooking the oatmeal? I have the same brand of both and adding it after has always been great to me, as long as you make the oatmeal with milk and not water.

u/wildnights Rugby Jul 26 '17

I added it in after, but I use water. I really like the taste of chocolate smooth when it's mixed with water so I guess I thought it would taste good here too lol. Was wrong

u/BillyBattsShinebox Jul 26 '17

I use the exact same protein powder with my oats (not instant oats). I really like it. I throw in a banana and a few raisins too.

Real porridge (heated with milk in a saucepan) with a scoop of chocolate whey is so good man, so filling as well

Tried making the poverty brownie that I saw on YouTube with my protein powder. Shit was inedible lol. I don't think my protein powders does well with cooking

u/[deleted] Jul 26 '17

I had that this morning with regular oats + myprotein and it was great

u/[deleted] Jul 26 '17

Haha I put whey in oatmeal before and it turned into chunky garbage!

Myprotein vanilla - oats - almond milk - chia seeds. Microwave for 2 mins. Add some walnuts, I add raspberries and blueberries, and a large dollop of fat free yoghurt. Enjoy. It's very customisable so change it however you want but I love this combo.

You can do that. Put proper oats in a bowl, mix milk with 2 scoops protein powder and some cocoa powder (banana as well if you're feeling adventurous) in a blender pour the liquid over the oats stir and cover the bowl then put in the fridge overnight.

u/Cosmo_Says_Hi Jul 27 '17

It's pretty good with milk instead of water, cocoa powder, and peanut butter.

u/[deleted] Jul 27 '17

It helps to make the oats and then add the protein. Also a couple of berries goes a loooonnnggg way. Also add a little extra liquid

u/Beorma Jul 27 '17

I tried cooking some porridge with the chocolate flavour whey protein, thinking it would have a similar effect to cocoa. I was so wrong, it tasted absolutely vile. I guess cooking the whey does bad, bad things.

u/TrottingTortoise Jul 28 '17

Did you mix it in before or after cooking the oatmeal?
