Hi JoEllen,

Thanks a lot for your tips.

Some stupid questions:
What is a scoop? My rice protein powder has about 10 grams of protein in 2 Tbsp (about 15 grams) I need 35 grams of protein. 6 Tbspoons sound TOO MUCH for me to drink like that....

The cooked oats: how do you cook them? in water? almond milk? I use organic whole oats. I figure I can put them in the grinding machine before I cook them. I had some raw in my shake today. Not yummy yet... didn't have a problem digesting them, it was just not a great texture and flavour. Felt the powder in the fluid. Used plenty of fluid.

Thanks

Nina
