The Perfect Mass Shake Thread

[Toni69]

I have a question regarding the use of oats in shakes. Is it better to grind them up before you put them in the shake or should you just dump them in?
Sorry if this question has been asked before.

These types of questions are always going to be repeated. Its because we get new members and they all have the same questions. Its ok.

You dont have to grind them. Apparantly, I learned from someone here that quick oats are faster digesting than normal cooked oats, which are slower digesting. So, the quick (1-minute by Quaker) are best pre and post workout.

Just add your oats raw to your shake. I like the texture and consistency. It will settle at the bottom. Just shake it up or drink the bits at the bottom, whatever floats your boat.

Stay away from the instant packets. Instant oatmeal is more processed so that it cooks faster. This also means that it has a higher GI and you digest it faster; it has more sugar.

Remember, Insoluble fiber is the rough, stringy part of a plant that provides bulk as an aid to a healthy gastrointestinal tract. Grains such as wheat bran, whole wheat flour, rye, millet, oats, barley, nuts and seeds are in this category. Soluble fiber helps regulate blood sugar, fat and cholesterol levels.

[AllGloryisFleeting]

2 Cups Milk
2 scoops whey protein
4 tbsp Natural Peanut Butter
A few drops of vanilla extract
Ice


And if i'm feeling saucy, i throw in a scoop of cocoa powder. I read somewhere that it's high in NO precursors, plus makes for a pretty damn delicious shakes. I worked this one out, and it had something along the lines of 950 calories and 70 g protein. Plus it's pretty easy to chug.

& a banana

[humanforklift]

Ok brothers, what do you put in your preworkout shake? I take in 20 grams of whey isolate and 1/2 oats. What do you think about adding a sugary yogurt, like with about 25 grams of simple sugar? I sometimes add honey or a banana, but would the sugars in yogurt be a wise carb choice preworkout? My girl left a cup of the stuff over here and I'm thinking of just throwing it in with the whey. Should this be a staple in my preworkout diet?


I search for a preworkout shake thread so sorry if there is anything like this already posted.

[gsb239]

I don't see anything wrong with it, especially if you're on a bulk. Yogurt helps with digestion, is a source of calcium and complete protein. Unless you're lactose intolerant....

[TNEVZ]

I eat a meal before I train, usually 2 chicken breasts with a little bbq sauce, and a couple of apples about 2 hours before

[vik]

One yam
Two cups of milk
one scope of chocolate whey
One tbs of coca unsweetened
One cup of oats
One med banana
tell me what you guys think thanks

[Kiwi129]

Yams in a shake? I might puke if I tried that. Just put in more oats is my opinion. They're better anyways. Other than that, sweet shake bro. Maybe some PB?

[vik]

you have to bake the yams sorry...

Eating is crucial to every bodybuilder/powerlifter's/everyone elses lifestyle. I read the articles, hear the stories, seen some of my friends make em, but I wanted to know what the cream of the crop in the weight lifting world has to offer when it comes to the best protein shake.

Mine looks like:

3 Cups Skim Milk
3 Heaping spoon fulls Peanut Butter
1 Banana
3 Scoops Ice Cream
1 Scoop Whey Protein Powder
1 Dose Creatine Monohydrate

What's yours look like?

[karmazon]

1 scoop protein powder
water

The "G Diesel Shake" is the shit. This is my favorite one, I don't add anything exotic as I'm allergic to fruit, just Real Gains, oats, Natty PB, milk. Tastes like paradise.

And yeah Killer, I noted under the "Real Gains" thread about G's shake too. That thing was delicious. I have it before bed every night. Sometimes I throw in a scoop of PB Cup Ice cream.... UNREAL!

Mine consists of about 48g of a whey blend(to get protein released throughout my workout), and a tbsp of healthy fats.

Then I sip a mixture of Gatorade powder and glutamine throughout my workout for carbs, electrolytes and aminos.

Oh yea, and the yogurt would be good to use. Gets in some carbs, protein and calcium fast. Definitely a good choice.
