Hi Nina,
I use lots of rice protein powder in my shakes and not only are they edible, they're yummy.
But make sure to use enough liquid. Cooked oats refrigerated overnight are great in shakes.
Some people find raw oats difficult to digest.
One other thing about the rice protein powder-my body says that a scoop is about 15
grams, just like Restore. I think they may overestimate how much protein is in a tablespoon.
Here's my favorite shake-I never get tired of it.
Banana
1.5 scoops vanilla rice protein powder (unsweetened)
crushed ice
a cup of cooked chilled steel cut oats, maybe a little more
small handful walnuts
crushed ice
maple flavoring from RR store or grocery store
Unsweetened almond milk
Enjoy your shake experiments-I think we all have our favorite custom-made shake.

: Hi everyone,
: I am reading the books (oops,
: downloaded the diet one and the
: total recovery but not the pnp
: one...).
: have been following this forum for a
: few days
: And planning my breakfast options for
: stage 1.
: I'd love some help with this stage:
: According to my calculations, I need
: to to have 34 grams of protein at
: breakfast.
: Since I am vegan, I found a rice
: based protein powder. I plan to
: use it in a shake.
: For the last few months I have been
: drinking a green smoothie for
: breakfast. (water/almond milk+some
: greens+some fruit+ground flax
: seeds). I plan to basically
: experiment with the shake so that
: it has enough protein and complex
: carbs in it.
: Questions:
: 1. In 2 table spoons of this powder
: there is 10.5 grams of protein.
: -does this mean I need to add
: about 6 T to my shake? will it be
: edible?
: 2. Carbs: I think I will try adding
: the oats to the shake - do I add
: them "dry" or cooked to
: it? I use natural whole oats. I
: can grind them to make them finer.
: 3. Another options is cooked oats
: with almond milk. Should I add
: some protein powder to it so that
: there is enough protein?
: note: I am not a strict vegan. I do
: eat organic eggs about 3 times a
: week. I eat spelt bread. I eat
: very little goat's cheese/yogurt.
: Will appreciate some guidance and
: creative ideas. My main concern
: right now is finding something
: that works for me and contains
: enough protein and complex carb.
: I'm excited about this new path. It
: sounds right for me. During the
: "green shake" period,
: one of my main problems was that I
: felt hungry after about 90 mins.
: Thanks!
: Nina
