Porridge + Whey?

**Narcotics** · 12-10-2010 10:19 PM

Just wondered if anyone had tried this? I like to have steel cut porridge oats for breakfast, but wanted to add a bit of extra protein to hit the 30-40g of protein per meal i was aiming for.

I was thinking of simply shaking up some whey isolate with milk and then leaving it in with the oats to soak overnight, to eat in the morning, i usually heat by microwaving but could use a saucepan on the hob i guess. Does anybody see a reason why this wouldnt work?

Many thanks.

I have it everyday.

Pour oats into bowl, boil kettle, pur boiling water over oats, leave 5 mins for oats to soak up water, add protein powder and mix.

I personally use a UK based branded supplement companies cocnout flavour. I have tried other flavours and it doesn't taste nearly as good. The coconut makes it creamy, so it's as if you are using milk.

I often have this too. Also, I often have grounded or fine oats in a protein shake.

I tend to have a shake on the side.

You called?

I have porridge with protein daily. Oats, milk (coconut, almond, oat or rice), tsp coffee & cacao and simmer slowly on hob. Leave to stand for 3-5 minutes then add in scoop protein. Mix well, add toppings and enjoy!

Can you tell I love porridge?

I do like a change sometimes though and make amazing pancakes...
