Optimum Nutrition Oats and Whey Protein Powder





From the manufacturer:

Oats and whey are fundamental elements of an athlete's diet. Naturally low in sugar, oats supply slow-burning complex carbohydrates and hunger-filling dietary fiber. Whey proteins are readily digested and provide considerable amounts of essential amino acids, especially the three branched chain amino acids (BCAAs). Optimum Nutrition's Natural 100% Oats & Whey combines the benefits of these nutritional powerhouses in a smooth, drinkable shake that's quick to prepare and equally easy to clean up after. Each serving packs in 24 grams of all-whey protein and as much fiber as a big bowl of oatmeal. Better yet, it tastes great, and it goes down easy. As the name suggests, Natural 100% Oats & Whey is free of artificial flavors and sweeteners. So naturally, it's great for breakfast, after workouts, and anytime that you're looking for an on-the-go meal.

Tools to Add Oats and Ancient Grains to Your Protein Shake



Why? Because amaranth, emmer wheat, teff, millet, quinoa, sorghum, and rye are cereal grains and broadleaf plants that are high in protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals.
They are touted to be the answer to our high gluten, high glycemic grain diet.
