Hi all,

Does any one use porridge oats in a smoothie/milkshake? and if so how do you make it so they're less solid/lumpy/noticeable (if you do)?

I ruined a good milkshake the other day by just mixing them in :(

    I don't make smoothies but I have a theory you could try anyway.

    Put the oats in your food processor before any other ingredients and whizz them until they're finer/more powdery. Then blend with your other ingredients. That way there shouldn't be such big lumps.

    I imagine you also need to add more liquid to your smoothie/milkshake (milk? apple juice?) as the oats will absorb liquid and you might end up with something really thick and hard to drink.
