Oatmeal Meal Replacement Shake

Oatmeal Meal Replacement Shake- (serves 1) by: Stella Juarez

This is a homemade meal replacement that contains all the nutrition of a hearty bowl of oatmeal. It's got complex carbs, protein, and a little good fat to extend its contribution to your energy stores. If you expect the rest of the day to be hectic, why not double it up and take half of the shake to work to ensure you don't skip a meal just because you'll be stuck in a meeting.

½ cup dry measure oatmeal, cooked in water and cooled
1-2 scoops vanilla protein (as directed on label)
3 dashes cinnamon
1/8 c sugar free maple syrup or equivalent amount brown sugar replacement
1 tbsp chopped almonds (or flaxseed oil or natural peanut butter)
12 oz. water or low-fat milk

Directions:

Add all ingredients to blender, blend, and pour into cup. If your short on time, just use dry oatmeal or oat flour.

i like this one too

why not honey instead of brown sugar?

I suppose you could use honey, but it would be a ton of extra carbs. An 1/8 of a cup would be a lot of honey.

good for bulking then huh?

I've been mixing 1 to 2 cups special K instead of oatmeal for a change, tastes pretty good and I got lots of energy
