    So good!

    I take 1/2 cup of rolled (not quick) oats, 1 scoop of chocolate powder, 1 cup of water and stir until combined. Get it boiling and then cover and turn to low for 15 minutes or until the oats are done. I like to add strawberries and banana to it.

    Yep, I do this all the time. I have cinnamon roll protein powder that I use in my oatmeal.

    I think you are not supposed to mix protein power in hot items because it denatures the protein.

    Some proteins are like this, but not all of them. You can check the package to see if it's temperature sensitive.
    Actually, someone gave me the idea of pouring saw raw oatmeal into my protein shake. I do that every morning and blend it up. Sounds strange, but it's good.

    ^^This. I love oats in my smoothies! With cinnamon!

    delicious! i did that this morning. there's a recipe in nrolfw.

    make oatmeal according to the directions (with water)
    then add 1/2 milk and a scoop of protein powder & a bit of nuts. makes it a little more soupy but totally delicious!!

    Perfectly fine. I've put vanilla protein powder in my oatmeal, or have added in some oats to my shakes for meal replacements. I've also made brownies with the chocolate protein powder i use and it does not denature its properties.

    Have a little fun with it!

    I just had the idea to put some protein powder in my oatmeal to up my protein intake for the day. Does it sound good or gross? Has anyone else done it before?

    I often just mix it up raw in a shake with a little peanut butter. :)

    I do it every day, too! BSN Syntha 6 Strawberry Milkshake is delicious in oatmeal. The Cookies and Cream is pretty good, too. (And there's nothing on the package saying to not put it in hot foods).

    Why not? I mix mine in yogurt and add fruit, nuts, sometimes chocolate. My mom mixes it in her coffee as a creamer. Mixing it with milk or water? Way to boring.

    I used do that and add some cooled down coffee. So good in the mornings :)

    You can add protein power to anything...it just can't be smoking hot liquid like coffee or it will curdle and turn into rubber....true story. Some are made for higher temps....the Cytosport from Costco does well with heat (I use it in my coffee daily). ON does not work well at all.......I use it as coffee creamer (delish!), I mix it in pancake batter, I add it to oatmeal.....and my very fav is plain greek yogurt. It tastes like cake batter.....add some fresh berries and a little granola and it is heaven. I also make fridge oats with greek yogurt, rolled oats, protein powder and berries....the liquid is soaked up in the oatmeal overnight which softens it.

    I cook plain oats in unsweetened chocolate almond milk, then add a half-scoop of chocolate protein powder once it's cooked. It is DELICIOUS.

    I eat cinnamon oatmeal for breakfast every morning. I've tried peanut butter in it, that's good. I don't know about the protein powder, never tried it. I wouldn't heat the powder, if you do try it.

    It's a little strange at first but pretty good and definately better stats than the sugary packets of oatmeal! I use old fashioned oats and add a pure protien powder (about 2g of sugar) ...It's a great way to get that extra protein

    I do it when I eat oatmeal :) It is Vanilla Whey Protein and it is lovely. Makes the plain oatmeal go down easier :)

    I've been doing that for the longest time. it's good. I also like to mix canned pumpkin in my oatmeal, add some cinnamon, and it's delish.... along with some vanilla protein powder. :)

    In oatmeal or in cereal both are very good and a great way to get protein in the morning
