About this Recipe

HOLY COW, you have to try this! This shake REALLY tastes like Homemade Oatmeal Raisin Cookies. I think it's my new favorite. And it's great post-workout, as it has some sugar. I used a whole tablespoon of brown sugar and it was plenty sweet--you could easily get by with less, thus cutting the carbs and calories some, or omit the raisins.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 Cup Raw Oatmeal (I used quick)
  • 1 Tablespoon Packed Brown Sugar (you could use splenda, or cut this back)
  • 1 Tablespoon Raisins
  • 1 Tablespoon Chopped Nuts--pecans, walnuts, almonds (take your pick)
  • Dash of Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon Imitation Butter Flavor (supermarket spice isle)
  • 1/8 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 Heaping Scoop Vanilla Protein Powder
  • 3/4 Cup Skim Milk
  • 1 Big Handful of Ice Cubes


Directions

  1. Place all ingredients into blender except ice cubes and blend until smooth.
  2. Add Ice Cubes and blend until thick and creamy.
  3. Garnish with chopped nuts.
