Thanks, Allison,
Do you just add dry oats to your shake? do you grind them first? I think my issue is with the brown rice powder- maybe the whey protein would taste better to me. I will try your shake, sounds good! I think you are right about the snacks- I am nursing. I wasn't trying to skip on purpose, just didn't think about it until it was too late.

: Hi Emily
: If you are nursing your baby, you
: actually need snacks, and you
: don't need to eliminate them on
: step 1 anyway. Even if you aren't
: nursing, your body is recovering
: from a huge event, and snacks
: might not be a bad idea right now.
: So you can just concentrate on
: finding a breakfast that you like
: and that works for you.

: I have my oats and protein powder in
: a shake, with some fruit and greek
: yogurt and almond milk. I think
: it's hard to get the technique
: right for mixing protein powder
: and oatmeal, although some people
: have figured it out. Do you think
: shake and eggs would work for you?
