Steel cut oats

[1quick1]

Lately there has been a lot of discussion on the easiest/quickest way to eat oats. There's also been a lot of talk on how to add more calories to your diet. Well, grinding steel cut oats up in a coffee grinder and throwing them in a protein shake is by far the easiest way to slam them down and not to mention you can make some extremely affordable weight gainer shakes that are very healthy.

Step 1:
Buy a coffee grinder. They are cheap and you can buy them almost anywhere. I bought one at Target but anyplace like Walmart will have them. Here's an example:

Target : Mr. Coffee Grinder - Black (IDS77)

Step 2:
Go to this website and use the store locator to find a retailer close to you to purchase this product. This stuff is gold. 560 calories per cup and the store by my house sells it for .99 cents a pound!

Step 3:
Grind oats up with coffee grinder and throw them in your favorite shake. If they oats are took thick in your shake just add more milk/water. I strongly recommend 8oz of liquid to every 1/4 cup of oats. Obviously you will need more milk/water if you add more ingredients like peanut butter or fruit.

EVERY day I have serveral of the following shakes.

cheap, quick, easy to prepare

16oz ice cold skim milk
1/2 cup ground steel cut oats
1 scoop of ON whey (chocolate)

571 calories
77 grams of carbs
53 grams of protein
7 grams of fat.

Obviously you can experiment with whatever you want to throw in there. Any fruits, peanut butter, etc etc. work perfectly. I like this because it takes me about 1 minute to make. Here's a couple other recipes you could try.

Tips:
- constantly shake these up in a shaker cup because the oats will settle at the bottom for quickly.
- always drink ice cold!
- if you can not find steel cut oats, old fashioned rolled oats will work. Just don't get any that are "quick" or have sugar. Rolled oats are good just not as calorie dense as the steel cut oats.

i also do a shake quite similar, wont say whats in it again cos i've said it too many times in this forum i think! lol 900+ cals tho

This thread caused me to buy a coffee grinder and a blender. Best thing I ever did. Every morning I have 8-12 oz whole milk, 1 cup steel cut oats, half scoop ON Pro Complex Gainer and sometimes a bananna. Tastes OK but fills me up good! Sometimes, if I have time, I will eat some yogurt too.
