How do you add oats to your diet?

In a blender w/ my protein shakes...real simple and I swear you can barely tell they're there

do i just have a sucky blender then? Cuz everytime i do this i have to chew my shake, and all the oats end up at the bottom and i basically have to eat the bottom out with a spoon, **** is nasty

haha I guess so. I'm not one to savor my shake so I usually don't have to worry about the having too much time to fall to the bottom. This may sound dumb and I don't know if you do this already but try puttin the oats in first so they hit the blades before anything - maybe they'll get broken up a bit more

Thee's a recipe around here for bars made with oats, natural pb, honey, and whey protein. I made them before and they turned out good. One time I made them w/ sugar free maple syrup, but I didn't like the heavy maple flavor.

Wardog bars a.k.a. sheesh bars. Good stuff!

After I blend my shake with oats, I put it in a shaker bottle minus the strainer and just give it a quick shake in between sips.

If your like me, you hate oats. But they are a necessity in my diet, to get upwards of 500g carbs, (complex) daily. I eat around 6 cups (dry) oats a day...I find that the best way is to microwave it so it gets just warm, with tons of water, so its real sloppy. You can down this in under 5 minutes, thats 120g carbs straight up.

im pretty sure its an aussie only brand, but its called "sunsine"
im pretty sure its only australian, because they are called "australian rolled oats"

however i was using the cheapest oats before, which werent bad, but i decided to try a different brand that was a bit more expensive (and yeah it was on special, im still a cheapo! ) maybe just try a few different brands and see which one you like best!

I think i need a new blender as well...i usually add some milk to the bottom of my shake (as all the unchopped oats are stuck together there) swirl it around and kick it back...its not the tastiest shot but better than grain alcohol

How much oats do most of you use in a single shake, i know i put usually around a cup or a little less?

Grind the oats in a coffee bean grinder then add to your shakes.

Bump on the Bobs Redmill products. My local grocery store carries the line of foods.

I know this is a little old now, but when you grind the oats up do they get oily or anything in the coffee grinder?

No they're dry. Don't worry, it won't hurt your coffee grinder.

Good, I dont want to use my blender multiple times a day. Cleaning it out sucks ass.
