how do you mix protein powder into oatmeal?

[elaineyue]

Does anybody know how to mix protein powder into oatmeal without making it lumpy? I tried mixing it before cooking the oatmeal, and then I tried mixing it in after, but both times the oatmeal came out lumpy and disgusting.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Elaine

Elaine,
I don't care for the flavor that it puts in, but the best way I have found is to mix the protein powder with the liquid before I cook it, and of course it depends on the brand. It works much better in yogurt

What kind of protein powder are you using? I find that protein powder made from eggs makes everything lumpy. Whey protein mixes better.

I've stopped putting protein powder in my oatmeal. I don't like the way the taste of the powder overrides the taste of my oatmeal. I usually mix my powder with soy milk.

It's Isopure whey protein. But if the protein taste will take over the taste of the oatmeal, then forget it. I'd rather eat the oatmeal by itself and drink a shake.
